A popular garden centre is unveiling a 'magical' line-up of festive experiences at its Glasgow store.

Dobbies Garden Centres have announced the return of their 'much-loved' Grotto which will have a completely new look.

Santa Claus will be at the new Little Seedlings train-themed Grotto in November and December, ready to spread Christmas cheer to families.

Children will be welcomed by elves at Sleighbell Station, before getting to enjoy the snowy scenes, woodland characters, and hidden nutcrackers, with the chance to tell Santa what they would like for Christmas.

Families can capture the moment with a photo of Santa, creating a lasting memory of the experience.

Dobbies will also offer a sensory-friendly Quiet Grotto experience at its Glasgow store on December 6.

This is designed to help reduce anxiety and provide a customised environment for children with additional needs.

Lighting, sound, and visual effects will be minimised, and session times will be extended to allow for a slower, relaxed experience.

Ayesha Nickson, Dobbies’ events programme manager, said: "Whether little ones are meeting Santa and his elves for the first time, or it’s a family tradition, our Grotto and Quiet Grotto experiences aim to create magical moments that can be treasured for years to come.

"There’s the chance to gather the whole family for a range of our festive experiences including our delicious festive afternoon tea, charity Christmas shopping night in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, or a paw-dorable picture moment at Santa Paws.

"A visit to Dobbies will really be a treat for all the senses this Christmas."

Customers are encouraged to book in advance for Dobbies' Christmas events to avoid disappointment.

Santa’s Grotto runs from November 28 until December 24, costing £12.99 per child, while Santa’s Quiet Grotto takes place on December 6, also costing £12.99 per child.
