A garden centre is launching its new 'Meet Santa' experience.

Dobbies' Moreton Park store will be unveiling the new experience, where families can meet Santa, capture a photo, and receive a gift.

The experience will launch on Saturday, December 7, and will run until Tuesday, December 24 with tickets costing £8.99 per child.

Customers will have the chance to spend time with Santa, talk about their wishes, and share a favourite Christmas story.

Each child will receive an age-appropriate gift from Santa, with the option to pre-select it when booking online.

Professional photographers will capture the moment and digital photographs will be available to purchase.

Parents can take home cherished memories of their children meeting Santa, with a 15 per cent discount available on pre-booked photos.

Ayesha Nickson, Dobbies’ events programme manager, worked with the wider team to develop Dobbies’ Meet Santa experience in Moreton Park and is excited to give families a magical moment.

She said: "Christmas at Dobbies is all about creating experiences that families can cherish.

"Our Meet Santa event offers an accessible way for children to share the joy of the season with Santa himself.

"I have so many fond recollections of meeting Santa as a little girl, and it brings me great joy to bring those same feelings to children visiting Dobbies’ Moreton Park store.

"We hope that families have a wonderful time at our Meet Santa event and soak up the festivities at Dobbies."

Customers are encouraged to book in advance to avoid disappointment but walk-ins are also welcome.
