We have had loads of requests for this post and for ideas on budget friendly Santa's. This year some of the prices we have seen are extortionate and what's with charging adults to see Santa? I have put together this handy list of the cheapest to the most expensive that I have found so far. I will add more to this guide as and when I have the info.
If you would like to add your Santa or any event to our guides, please head HERE
