A North East attraction, which has received thousands of visitors since it opened in autumn, is preparing to welcome the most important of all; Father Christmas.
From Friday 18 to Wednesday 23 December, The Walled Garden, in the grounds of Wynyard Hall Hotel, Tees Valley, will play host to Santa Claus, who will be giving a Christmas present to each child he meets.
And, while children visit his special grotto in the doorway of the historic gardener’s cottage, their parents will be able to snap up festive fare and Christmas gifts in the shop within the visitor centre.
Shoppers can choose from a wide range of seasonal homeware and gardening items along with a variety of cakes, preserves, cheese and meat, sourced from suppliers in the North East and North Yorkshire.
In addition, the visitor centre houses a café, overlooking the garden, which serves main meals and light snacks.
Santa’s grotto will be open between 11am and 3pm each day and tickets, which costs £8 per child or £21 for three children, must be bought in advance online at www.wynyardhall.co.uk.
The £5 admission fee to the garden will be waived for up to two adults per child.
