She said: “As families face some of the toughest financial pressures ever they are being forced to sacrifice or make harsh choices leaving them feeling low at what should be the happiest time of the year.
Those who visit the grotto will enjoy a 30 minute session inside our Christmas Wonderland where they can have snowball fights with the cheeky elves, make food for the reindeer, create Christmas decorations and play with all the toys and books laid out for the day.
