Youngsters have been given multiple chances to give their Christmas wishes to Santa as a garden centre in Badshot Lea is a top ten festive attraction.

Santa was on hand to greet the first visitors when ten magical grottos at Squire’s were officially opened by the centre’s charity of the year, Space2Grow.

The grottos will turn Christmas wishes into pounds as £1 from every child’s ticket will go directly to the charity.

The launch coincided with the arrival of the centre’s first freshly-cut Christmas trees with Kate Newton, project manager and parenting group leading, thanking the family firm for their support and invite.

She said: “It was such a magical experience for the children to be the very first visitors to Santa’s Grotto at Squire’s Badshot Lea this year.

“We’re very grateful to Squire’s for inviting us to take part in this tradition and for their wonderful support.”
