Dobbies Garden Centre is set to give children a "magical Santa's grotto experience" at its Royston store.
The garden centre has organised a range of festive experiences for families to enjoy at Christmas time.
Santa will be based at the Little Seedlings train-themed grotto at the Royston store, which has been given a new look.
From Thursday, November 28 to Tuesday, December 24, children will be able to explore snowy scenes, meet woodland characters and find hidden nutcrackers, before meeting Santa to tell him their Christmas wishes.
Families will also have the chance to take a photo with Santa.
In addition, Dobbies will be offering a sensory-friendly quiet grotto experience on Wednesday, December 6.
Santa’s Quiet Grotto is £12.99 per child and is designed to help reduce anxiety and provide a customised environment for children with additional needs.
Lighting, sound, and visual effects will be minimised, and the sessions will be extended to allow for a more relaxed experience, giving children the chance to have their special moment with Santa.
Dobbies has also partnered with Dogs Trust for the Santa Paws experience, which is available in the store from Thursday, December 5 to Tuesday, December 24.
The experience costs £9.99 per dog, and a professional ticket can be added on and pre-booked at https://events.dobbies.com/ for a discount.
When booking tickets online customers will have the option to donate to Dogs Trust.

Dobbies’ events programme manager, Ayesha Nickson, said: "Whether little ones are meeting Santa and his elves for the first time, or it’s a family tradition, our grotto and quiet grotto experiences aim to create magical moments that can be treasured for years to come."
"There’s the chance to gather the whole family for a range of our festive experiences including our delicious festive afternoon tea, charity Christmas shopping night in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, or a paw-dorable picture moment at Santa Paws.
"A visit to Dobbies will really be a treat for all the senses this Christmas."
