**Press release**
A magical North Pole Post Office is coming to Skipton this year!
From the 30th November it will arrive in time for children to post their letters to Santa in the magical post box before the big day arrives. The Post Office is funded by Skipton BID and will be located in the vacant unit next to Pizza Express, the unit has kindly been supplied by Glentrool Asset Management Limited.
Children can call in every weekend until the 22nd December, write a letter to Santa and post it to the North Pole using the talking postbox. There will be Santa’s Elves to greet them and help them write their letter.
The unit will be completely transformed by Odin Events, using an array of Christmas props and theming elements to make the space unrecognisable from the inside and out.
