CHILDREN have been visiting a Bromsgrove garden centre to see Santa at a free grotto.

Little Heath Garden Centre, in Littleheath Lane, Lickey End, is holding the grotto on several weekends in the run up to Christmas.

On the opening weekend, on December 6, children lined up around the block, clutching their wish lists letter, ready to hand them to the Father Christmas.

They also had the chance to meet Santa's reindeer.

The free grotto is being held from 11am until 3pm, every weekend, as well as on December 22 and 23 from 11am until 3pm, and Christmas Eve, December 24, from 11am until 1pm.

While entry to see Santa is free, Little Heath is welcoming donations to the two charities being supported, Primrose Hospice and Greenfingers.
