A garden centre is giving away a Christmas-themed prize.

Leyland Garden Centre is offering one lucky winner a light-up reindeer to spread festive cheer.

The charity has announced the prize will be given to a 'local hero, hospice, charity, school, or community space'.

The illuminated reindeer is expected to 'bring joy to children, warmth to a local hospice, and a festive touch to a community centre'.

The garden centre is hoping the prize will make a 'real difference' this Christmas.

The competition is open for nominations until Saturday, November 30, and the winner will be announced on Friday, December 6.

The reindeer will be delivered in time for Christmas Day.
