Santa’s collected for Norwich Open Christmas at Chapelfield

Santa was in Chapelfield collecting food parcels, clothing and donations for Norwich Open Christmas on Sunday 13th December between 11AM and 3PM.

Shoppers were able to meet Santa and take photos of their little ones with him in return for a donation to Open Christmas. Santa was joined in front of Chapelfield's Christmas Tree on the Lower Ground Mall by Colin, Linda, Bill, Mary and Kevin from Open Christmas.


During the day our five volunteers received food parcels, talked to people about what happens on Christmas Day, gave out handbills to advertise the event, helped take pictures with shopper's mobile phones and cameras and collected donations. Picture shows Bill trying hard not to shake the collection box!


Norwich Open Christmas are very grateful to Chapelfield Centre Manager Davina and Centre Marketing Manager Sheridan for providing this opportunity to promote our event.

We are also grateful to Santa for taking time out of his busy schedule to help us. Apparently, Santa likes Chapelfield because he can park his sleigh there at a cheaper rate after 3PM
