An award-winning grotto is returning to Cressing at the end of the month.

The Magical Grotto at Cressing Temple Barns will open from Saturday, November 23.

Children will join an elf on a magical journey to visit Father Christmas and friends.

The experience lasts between 45 minutes to an hour and features the Toy Shop, the Wish Queen and festive crafts and games with the elves.

Children will also get the chance to visit some reindeer, write a letter to Father Christmas and sit in his sleigh before meeting the man himself.

Adults will also be able to get in the festive spirit with some mulled wine and mince pies.

Other hot drinks and refreshments are also on offer throughout the day.

The festivities will be underway every weekend from 10am until 6pm in December and every day from December 20 until Christmas Eve.

Tickets are £20 for children and £7.50 for adults.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.
