Rishi Sunak visits The Station in Richmond for festive event

The Richmond and Northallerton MP met families and volunteers while touring The Station’s Present Sorting Office, a popular seasonal attraction where children help sort gifts in Father Christmas’ workshop before meeting the main man himself and having their picture taken.

Mr Sunak said: “The Station team have once more put together a wonderful festive programme.

“The Present Sorting Office is a great place to meet Santa and it was lovely to see all the children’s happy, excited faces.”

Organised by The Station’s events team, the Present Sorting Office has become a firm favourite among families in Richmond and further afield.

As well as the Christmas experience, The Station offers a programme of festive events and activities throughout December.

Gemma Lord, chief executive of the Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust, which owns and operates The Station, added: “We were delighted to welcome Rishi Sunak to The Station again today.

“Our Present Sorting Office is incredibly special, and it was wonderful to share some festive magic with him.

“His support for The Station over the years has been much appreciated, and we are grateful for his continued support as we continue to develop this community venue and create unique experiences for the people of Richmond.”

The Station’s Christmas programme runs throughout December, with a variety of affordable events and activities designed for all ages.
