All the way from the North Pole, Santa is making himself at home at Dobbies Garden Centres with his magical grotto open for families to visit in the Atherstone store.

Open to 24 December, and in partnership with Great Grottos, families can adventure through the winter wonderland, featuring faux reindeer and other animals before they meet Santa at his house checking the list of who has been naughty or nice.

The safety of customers and team members is Dobbies' number one priority and a number of social distancing and hygiene measures are in place. Those visiting Santa's grotto will be required to wear a face covering in store, and Dobbies asks that customers come prepared with their own mask.

There will also be scheduled cleaning carried out regularly throughout the day.

Tickets are priced at £11.99 per child and include a visit to Santa's grotto and a gift. Santa has selected a range of toys, all suitable for different ages, with children invited to select their own present.

One of Dobbies' most magical and popular Christmas events, tickets for Santa's Grotto are already selling fast, with families encouraged to book early at on their website to avoid disappointment.

A refund will be issued to customers, if the event is cancelled.

Dobbies ask that all customers check the travel restrictions in their local area before travelling.
