A highlight of the afternoon was a visit from Santa Claus and his elves. Members of the community were able to visit Santa’s grotto, meet Santa himself and receive a special goody bag, much to the delight of younger visitors. The grotto proved hugely popular with families and helped everyone get into the festive spirit, creating lasting Christmas memories.
