And this year, instead of making his entrance by boat, Santa will arrive on top of a double decker bus, giving even more youngsters the opportunity to see their idol.

Santa will arrive in Scarborough Harbour where he will be greeted by Paddy Billington from 'This is the Coast' radio and Santa’s Sixth Form band.

He will then be joined by those gathered for his annual parade up Eastborough, before making his way to his grotto on the ground floor of Boyes on Queen Street.

Children will be able to visit Santa, tell him what they would like for Christmas, and receive a gift.

Santa’s Arrival is a free event, and Santa’s Grotto tickets are available in store.
