Father Christmas is making a welcome return to Llanelli Rotary Club’s Grotto this weekend.
The grotto is based at the BHS store in Trostre, Llanelli.
Last year, the Rotary Club Grotto raises more than £1700 for local charities.
‘Santa’ is flying down from the North Pole to sit in the special Rotary Grotto at the BHS store on eight days in the run-up to Christmas.
He is being accompanied by some specially-dressed Rotary Club ‘elves’.
Rotarian Alison Evans said last year’s Grotto was such a hit with children that opening hours have been extended this year.
Alison said: “Santa is full of the joy of Christmas and most of the young visitors who call in to see him at the Grotto are delighted with the experience.
“We are, of course, grateful to Linda Ryan and the team at BHS in Trostre for being such great hosts for Father Christmas.”
Charities being supported by the Rotary Grotto this year are –
- Bobath cerebral palsy centre treating newborns and older children.
- DEBRA, the charity that helps children whose lives are extremely difficult because they have ultra-sensitive skin.
- Llanelli Deaf Centre. They require help to refurbish their activity room.
- Hands for Alan. Young Alan needs to raise £60,000 for two new bionic hands.
Father Christmas will be at BHS –
Saturday, November 28, December 5, 12, 19, Sunday December 20, Monday December 21, Tuesday December 22 and Wednesday December 23, 10am to 4pm.
Admission is £3 and al proceeds go to local charities.
