The lovely people at Dean's Garden Centre, Stockton Lane, Stockton-on-Forest, York have allowed us to set up a Grotto which will open it's snow covered doors at 10:30am on Saturday 5th December 2009. The Grotto will then be open every weekend from 10:30am until 4pm on both Saturdays and Sundays and also on Monday 21st through until Thursday 24th of December, closing at 3:30pm on Christmas Eve.

Entry is a very reasonable £4.50 and if you visit Dean's Garden Centre before December 5th, you can pick up a voucher which will give you a further £1.00 off reducing the entry price to an even more pallitable £3.50. Suitable gifts will be given to every visiting child and you are guaranteed a warm welcome by one of the happy volunteer Elves who will be on hand to guide you to the Grotto and introduce your child to Santa.

All profits will go to Bowel Cancer UK so come along and see Santa and bring your child, neice, nephew, grandchild or even your neighbours children and at the same time give some money to a very worthwhile cause.
