Santa is set to make a special appearance at a Leyland Garden Centre festive breakfast event.

Families can kick off their Christmas celebrations with a 'hearty breakfast' at the garden centre.

As part of the breakfast event, Santa will be making a special visit.

Children will have the chance to meet Santa, share their Christmas wishes, and take a photograph. Each child will also receive a gift from Santa.

The garden centre has urged people to not miss out on this 'unforgettable Christmas experience'.

Tickets for the event can be booked via the Leyland Garden Centre's website.

The garden centre is home to the Fern Christmas brand, which offers a range of Christmas decorations, trees, and lights.

The centre is also stocked with a variety of items suitable for Christmas gifts.

Leyland Garden Centre is part of the British Garden Centres group, which is the UK's 'largest family-owned garden centre group' with 65 centres across the country.

The business was originally launched in 1987 with the opening of Woodthorpe Garden Centre by brothers Charles and Robert Stubbs.

Since 2018, it has 'rapidly expanded', acquiring 50 more garden centres.

This has allowed the company to grow from its original location in Lincolnshire to a nationwide business with centres from Carmarthen to Ramsgate and Wimborne to East Durham.

The group has a team of 2,700 colleagues working across the garden centres, restaurants, growing nurseries, distribution centres, Woodthorpe Leisure Park, and Woody’s Restaurant & Bar.
