SANTA PREPARES TO SET UP SHOP AT FROSTS FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON

The John Lewis ad is out now, and 'I'm a Celebrity..' returns this week.  Yup, Christmas is just around the corner!

But forget shopping woes, family squabbles and out of tune carol singers; a whole host of festive new activities are set to roll out at Frosts Garden Centre in Woburn Sands.

Santa’s arrival marks the beginning of the holiday season, of course, and this year is set to be as enchanting as ever.

At 4pm on Saturday (Nov 14), Santa will arrive at Woburn Sands to open his magical grotto to the public.

He will roll in as part of a merry parade with his trusty elves in tow, ready to make Christmas extra special for little ones.

The ever-popular, sell-out family grotto experience lasts just over 45 minutes and is the ultimate way to visit Santa in his festive wonderland.

The adventure starts with a festive sing-song with his excitable elves who love nothing more than getting children into the Christmas spirit!

Then it’s on to the next room to make some reindeer food ready to leave out on Christmas Eve for Rudolf and the gang.

The enchanted journey finishes in Santa's living room with a story read by the big man himself.

The grotto will welcome folks until Wednesday 23 December – and some days are already sold out so don't dilly-dally.

Tickets cost £9.99 per child and £4.49 per adult, photos cost £5.99.
