00:00My name's Sarah Lyon and I'm the Audience Development Officer for Breeze, who are part of Leeds City Council.

00:05Our work is all around children and young people and providing activities and great things to do for families.

00:10We are here at Loverton Hall and this time of year is really special to us and really special to families.

00:16So we are welcoming families to come and make some magical memories that are going to last a lifetime.

00:22So there's so much to do with the Christmas experience at Loverton.

00:25There's Santa's North Pole, which is an amazing snow-filled area where families can head in, meet Mrs. Claus for the first time.

00:33She is joining Santa in that North Pole where you can join Mrs. Claus and decorate some gingerbread.

00:39Then you will go in to meet Santa in his warm, cosy cabin.

00:44I'm here in the North Pole with my little gingerbread men I've been baking.

00:49But of course, they've been so busy, I haven't had time to decorate them all, have I, Santa?

00:53Santa? No, so I really need you to come and help me and do some decorating, if you could.

01:00That's a good idea.

01:01Yes, for you.

01:02Do you think you could all come along to Loverton Hall and help the Mrs. to decorate gingerbread men?

01:08Oh, that would be so nice.

01:09Then everything will be Christmas perfect.

01:13Yes, it would be.

01:14Families can join us in our really enchanting elf village where they can do crafts, they can make their own keepsake to take home.

01:22They can toast a marshmallow by the really warm fire pit.

01:25It's lovely every year to see families coming in, smiling children, just the love and the joy of Christmas.

01:32You can really feel it here at Loverton and I think it's really lovely to see.

01:36And it's important for people to just be reminded of being together and being as a community at Christmas time.

01:43So, yeah, Loverton does help do that here at the Christmas experience.

01:46After you've helped me in the kitchen, you can come and see Mr. Claus.

01:49Of course, don't forget to come and see me.

01:55We've been so busy and all the elves wrapping all the presents, checking off the Christmas list, of course.

02:01Who so? That's what I paid them for.

02:04Oh, and you know, we've also got the beautiful light trail.

02:07We've also got the amazing Loverton Hall, which is an Edwardian hall.

02:10It's really beautiful.

02:11And this year it's decorated throughout the rooms in the most traditional Edwardian style.

02:17I don't know how many Christmas trees there are, but it would be amazing to know.

02:20So maybe that's something you could do is come and count them.

02:22But you'll see beautiful laid tables.

02:26You'll see toys from past and from present.

02:29You'll see lots of Christmas trees, huge ones and little ones.

02:33And it's a really beautiful place to come and enjoy.

02:36I've done away with the naughty list.

02:39Oh.

02:39I've got the nice list and the extra nice.

02:43Oh, my goodness.

02:45Look at that.

02:46So I suppose it's be super helpful around the house.

02:49That's right.

02:49Yes, that is definitely one of the criteria.

02:52It's kind things and you're absolutely bound to be on the nice list.

02:56You know, you know.

02:57Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

02:59Oh, oh.
