Children and families are invited to write letters to Santa for a chance to win £100 worth of vouchers to be spent in Welwyn Hatfield.
Any children who want to take part are invited to fill out the template letter with their name and age, along with a promise that they will leave out a mince pie and a drink, with a carrot for Rudolph.
Winners will be able to spend their vouchers in their home town centre of either WGC or Hatfield, and also win a film screening at Campus West for their ‘bubble’ of up to six people, subject to government restrictions.
Letter templates can be downloaded, and then the children can pen their letter to Santa and post it to him in one of the special post boxes in WGC and Hatfield town centres.
The post box in Hatfield Town Centre is near the Christmas tree in White Lion Square, and the Welwyn Garden City post box is on the second floor of The Howard Centre.

These can be dropped off in the Howard Centre post box on the first floor, outside Supercuts, or emailed to info@welwyngarden.co.uk.
The winner will get a voucher to spend in toy shop The Entertainer, and their card will be published as the official Wonderful WGC Christmas card online.
