The event held at Denby Pottery, welcomed visitors to indulge in a selection of food and drink, and to spend time choosing from the range of gifts for the perfect Christmas present.

Santa Claus himself stopped by to see the children, while his wife Mrs Claus spent some time reading stories to the youngsters.

There were also ready-wrapped Christmas gifts for the kids – this year each present was a cuddly toy.

“We had 13 coaches over the weekend, of people travelling to the centre for a day trip. We welcome everyone and thank them for taking the time to come and see us.”
