Santa’s grand arrival at Squire’s Garden Centres

 

Hundreds of people came to Squire’s Garden Centres to see Santa arrive in style. Instead of coming on his traditional sleigh he arrived at Squire’s in Milford and Woking on a Horse Drawn Carriage, and at Squire’s in Twickenham he came on a Routemaster Bus!

 

Santa came to Squire’s to open his magical Christmas Grotto, which customers can visit on Saturdays and Sundays, plus the week before Christmas at selected centres.

 

As well as seeing a child’s face light when they see Santa and receive a beautiful wrapped gift, visitors also get a warm glow, as they'll be benefitting a local charity.

 

Tickets cost £6 per child, with £1 from every ticket being donated to Squire’s local charities:

  • Squire’s Milford – Samson Centre for MS
  • Woking – Riding For The Disabled
  • Twickenham – Integrated Neurological Services
