FAMILIES can meet Father Christmas when he arrives in his St Helens grotto at Church Square Shopping Centre this weekend.

The attraction will be unveiled on Saturday, November 23.

Families will be taken on a magical journey for a Father Christmas meet and greet.

Children can tell Santa what they would love for Christmas and leave with a personalised gift.

The grotto will be in the centre opposite JD Sports in Lagrange Arcade, initially at weekends, with tickets priced £7.95.
