Breakfast with Santa Essex To Consider
Breakfast with Santa at Poplar Nurseries
Location : Coggeshall Road, Marks Tey, Colchester, Essex, CO6 1HR
Santa and his elves will be back at Poplar for special Breakfast with Santa events in December 2025!
The elves are busy making gifts and causing havoc in the toy-making factory, but Santa assures us that they will be on their best behaviour when they arrive.
As children are always awake at the crack of dawn why don’t you come along to one of our Breakfast with Santa events – serving breakfast at 8:30 am with Santa arriving shortly after, giving all the children a personalised present and a real baby Christmas tree. He will then read a few festive stories and to finish off we will have a good old sing-along.
Santa is really looking forward to seeing everyone, but he does have a very busy schedule with lots of places to visit, so spaces for this event are limited – please book early to avoid disappointment. Festive jumpers are optional but always welcomed.
Taking place 7th, 14th, 19th – 24th December 2025
