EXCITED youngsters will be lining up with their wish lists when Santa makes an early, special visit to Studley Garden Centre.
A free grotto, in aid of St. Richard’s Hospice and Greenfingers, will be open every weekend from December 6 from 11am to 3pm as well as December 22 and 23 from 11am to 3pm and Christmas Eve from 11am to 1pm.
Not only will children have the chance to meet Santa and have their picture taken with him, but will receive a sticker set and have the chance to meet his reindeer.
Photographs of the grotto experience will be available to purchase on the day, and include a snowglobe, keyring, magnet, snowblock or bauble.
While entry to the grotto is free, the garden centre welcomes donations which will go toward St. Richard’s Hospice which provides free specialist palliative care for patients living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, and Greenfingers which supports children who use hospices around the UK by creating inspiring gardens for them to relax and enjoy.
