It is nearly time to get the Christmas decorations up and to get into the festive mood, and what better way to celebrate than to go and see Santa himself?

Greenwich and Bexley Community Hospice has organised a Christmas grotto which will be open every weekend in December.

Situated in Greenwich Market, Santa and his helpers will be around to take photos with and give out presents Thursday to Sunday through the festive month.

You will then be able to wander around the market picking up those last-minute gifts.

The timings of the grotto will be: Thursday to Saturday 12.30pm to 5pm, Sunday 12.30pm–4pm and Christmas Eve 11am to 3pm.

For just £5 your child can meet the man himself and give him an extra nudge to put them on the nice list.
