TIS the season to be jolly at Albert Dock attraction Mattel Play! Liverpool as it plans 12 days of Christmas for its young visitors.

December is a busy month for Father Christmas which is why the Fat Controller is inviting children to enjoy a magical Thomas and Friends themed story-time each weekend leading up to the big day performed throughout his shows.

Children will be given the opportunity to commemorate the occasion with creative Christmas cards and craft-making to designing dazzling decorations or a seasonal mask.

Mattel Play! will also be hosting a letter to Santa where all children are encouraged to write their own letters and make a wish to post in the Island of Sodor for Thomas who will be delivering their presents this year.

For more information visit the Mattel Play! Liverpool website mattelplayliverpool.com. 

We have teamed up with Mattel Play! to give away a family ticket to one lucky reader. 

To be in with a chance of winning, comment underneath the competition post on the Warrington Guardian Facebook page with your child's favourite Thomas, Bob the Builder or Fireman Sam character.
