Take time out of your trip over Christmas to wander around this twinkling grotto amongst the elves, reindeer, nativity scenes, angels, snowmen, giant candy canes, Santa and all the other festive characters that Christmas memories are made of.

There will be a special visit to the garden by Santa and a couple of his elves with a big bag of lollipops this Friday night (21 December).
