Father Christmas is sending his elves to The Potteries Centre to collect names for his Staffordshire Nice List which will be viewable by shoppers at a unique installation.

To see a child's name included on The Potteries Centre Nice List, parents and carers simply need to send the child's name, along with a brief description of how they’ve made a positive impact on the community around them, to christmas@potteriescentre.co.uk by 5pm on Sunday 3 November.

Has your child helped a new friend settle in at school, taken part in a sponsored silence or joined a community litter pick?  Whatever it is, The Potteries Centre want to hear about it! All children nominated will be able to find their name on the Nice List when it is officially unveiled by Santa himself on Saturday 23 November during his city centre arrival parade extravaganza in partnership with Stoke on Trent City Centre BID and The Potteries Centre.

Plus, after the closing date, five children will be chosen at random to enjoy a VIP Santa’s grotto experience including a free visit and gift.

Amy Whittaker, Centre Manager at The Potteries Centre, commented: “We’re thrilled to be launching Santa’s Nice List this year and giving local families the chance to make Christmas extra special. It’s such a magical time, and we want to help create lasting memories for children who visit the centre. With Santa keeping a close eye on his list, we’re excited to see the joy on little ones' faces as they find their names on the Nice List.”

The Nice List can be found on Level 3 by Deichman.
