Santa is setting up his winter wonderland grotto inside a cave in Kent this year.

The Margate Caves will be transformed into a subterranean snow-land this Christmas for a magical grotto hidden under the streets of the town.

Father Christmas and his little helpers will be welcoming visitors to his winter wonderland in Northdown Road every weekend from Saturday, December 5 to Friday, December 20.

And Father Christmas will be following all current Covid-19 guidelines.

"We are delighted to have secured Father Christmas's services for Christmas 2020," said Margate Caves centre manager Kayleigh McMahon.

"He's clearly an extremely busy man and we're thrilled that he's chosen to make the Margate Caves his home-from-home to deliver some much-needed Christmas cheer to the children of Thanet and beyond."

Children will be able to meet him, receive a gift and explore the festively-themed caves.

After that they will be able to visit the attraction's gift shop and buy refreshments at the café.

Tickets will be £9.50 for children, to include entry to the caves and a gift, with two adults per booking allowed in free, and additional adults charged at £4.50. You can book tickets now at margatecaves.co.uk.
