Santa will be arriving in style at Squire’s Garden Centres at the end of November…and, as befits the modern age, in a variety of modes of transport. 

Depending on the centre, he will arrive in an Aston Martin, horse-drawn carriage, double-decker bus, fire engine, £1m vintage sports car and even on a Harley Davidson motorbike!

The old fella – who has had centuries of practice at being in several places at once – has timed his arrival for 10am at each of the 14 locations over the last two weekends of the month.
