Blackler's Santa: A City鈥檚 Christmas Memory

A festive look back at Blackler鈥檚 Santa and Liverpool鈥檚 magical Christmas grottos

Remember standing in line to view the giant Santa in Blacklers, riding the rocking horse and seeing the animatronics.
The 18-foot-tall iconic Santa once towered over shoppers at Blackler鈥檚 department store every winter from 1957 to 1988.
Blackler's Christmas Winter Wonderland became a must-see experience for everyone in Liverpool and became a part of our history.
The Blacklers Santa has a new home in the Museum of Liverpool鈥檚 atrium, where every year since 2016 he has continued to be a Liverpool festive tradition, with parents and grandparents remembering him in his heyday and sharing their love with their children and grandchildren.
