ILKLEY'S bandstand will play host to Santa, the Ice Queen and Ice Princess on Sunday, December 17 from 1.30pm to 4.30pm.

It starts at 1.30pm with with special performances from your favourite Princesses before Santa's Grotto is officially opened to the public. The bandstand will be transformed into the perfect place to meet and greet Santa. Children will also receive a small present from Santa himself.

There will be musical numbers every 30 minutes with a final concert at 4pm to conclude the event. There will also be drinks and food available supplied by Ilkley’s local businesses.

The Christmas Spectacular event is put on by Ilkley events management company Hannah Jane Events Management. The company was founded by local resident Hannah Green, who has spent time working in the performing arts industry whilst teaching singing and drama to children across the country. She is also an Honours Graduate in Performing Arts. Hannah holds an Enhanced DBS as well as certificates in safeguarding.

Hannah decided to open the events management company as she wanted to create something different for the area and bring more local businesses and the community together. Hannah said: "Having worked with the children at Upstagers Ilkley, I realised I wanted to create something on the bandstand for their age group and for the whole family to enjoy at Christmas.

"Tickets for the Christmas Spectacular cost £5 per child and £1 per adult. You are able to reserve tickets beforehand and then pay on the day by emailing hannahjaneeventsmanagement@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you there!"
