Garden King offers cash reward offered to find Santa


Garden King has unfortunately lost touch with Santa Claus. The Newhall based garden centre had a direct line to the North Pole until recently, but communication issues have meant they are not able to get in contact with the jolly fellow to ask him to come along to the store's grotto.

The centre are sending out an SOS to the local community and offering a £200 reward to the person who helps establish contact with Santa.

For each successful applicant, Garden King will offer the referee £100 and a further £100 on Christmas Eve after Santa completes his grotto visit for 2016.

If anyone can help the garden centre in their quest to find Santa - call 01283 550516 or email grotto@gardenking.co.uk

The festive spirit is already in place at Garden King, and Santa's grotto will be open from November 19. The reindeer will make a return in the run up to opening weekend with 'Benny' the youngest and newest member of the reindeer family taking residence with his mother Frida and aunty Wilma.
