Santa will be making a grand entrance when he visits a garden centre as part of his Christmas preparations.

Instead of arriving on his traditional sleigh, Saint Nick will turn up to Squire’s Garden Centre in Stanmore in an elegant horse and carriage.

He will be on hand to greet excited crowds on November 25, hand out presents and open his traditional circus.

There will be an opportunity to get your picture taken with the big man and there will also be the chance to meet his famous reindeer.

Squire’s advises that visitors arrive early to ensure a good viewing spot for when Santa makes his spectacular entrance at 10am.
