Santa's Speed Boat at St Katharine Docks

Rudolph must have taken the day off because Father Christmas will be zooming into St Katharine Dock on a speed boat on December 18 at 5.30pm. Three of his reindeer friends will be at the dock's Christmas market (1pm-6pm) and will need helpful children to feed them, and the National Youth Jazz Orchestra will provide live music (2pm-5pm). Shop for gifts and foodie treats from 11am-7pm. The market will also be open on Thursday December 17 between 5pm and 7pm, when The City Chamber Choir will sing carols.
