UK's Largest Santa Postbox

Description

Send Santa a letter in style, as St Peters Quarter unveils the UK’s largest post box in time for Christmas

Shoppers in Derby City Centre are being greeted by a new landmark on the horizon – the UK’s largest post box.

Measuring 6 metres in height – bigger than a double-decker bus – the giant post box has arrived on The Spot, in St Peters Quarter, just in time for Christmas.

Children are encouraged to post their letters to Santa in style. When each letter is dropped into the box, they can watch the letter fly towards the North Pole thanks to a colourful LED light display.

The letters posted will go direct to Santa at the North Pole and he will be bringing a selection of them with him to display when his grotto arrives at QUAD from the 9 December.

There will also be a QR code on the Post Box for parents to download a template response to personalise for their children.

The unusual sight has been brought to Derby in a seasonal collaboration between St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) and Derby City Council.
