THE festive spirit is already flowing at The Old Railway Line Garden Centre with an array of exciting Christmas displays.
The award-winning garden centre, near Three Cocks, always makes an effort in the run-up to Christmas to provide something exciting for young children. The centre has been crowned ‘Best Garden Centre in Wales and the West’ for seven consecutive years and this year as in past years will be entertaining a visit from Santa and his reindeer in its grotto, which is open to all. General manager Katie Eckley said; “Renowned throughout mid Wales, south Wales and Herefordshire, our grotto experience is packed with festive magic, including real life reindeer and a short magical walk before meeting Santa, having a chat and receiving a suitable toy and delicious sweets. Our grotto is built at the heart of this year’s ‘bigger and better’ Christmas department which is very exciting.
“On selected days in December our Breakfast and Afternoon Tea with Santa experiences offer something different to the traditional grotto visit. Children, parents and grandparents can enjoy a delicious meal in the Railway Restaurant before Santa visits each table, distributing presents and talking to each child.
“Santa’s Grand Arrival is planned for the evening of Friday, November 23 from 5pm including a fun disco, bouncy castle and games. Be sure to be here in plenty of time to see Santa pull up outside the garden centre on his sleigh at 6pm. There will also be a festive menu in the Railway Restaurant!”
“Don’t worry… adults haven’t been forgotten! We also have a ‘Christmas VIP Night’ planned for Thursday, December 13. The event promises to be an enjoyable evening including mulled wine and live music on arrival, two-course meal, demonstrations and exclusive discounts.”
