PARADISE Park in Hayle welcomes an extra special visitor this December as Father Christmas sets up his grotto at the wildlife park.

Santa will be in his magicial |grotto at the park and while you are there keep an eye out for a big family of knitted penguins.

These penguns (including nine baby ones) are all being named by the public in the run up to the first visit by Santa on Saturday.

If you have been very good Father Christmas will give you a special ‘Reindeer Food’ pack which you can sprinkle in your garden on Christmas eve so the reindeer have lots of energy during their busy night.

A visit to the grotto is £4 for |each child and this includes a gift and will be open from noon to 2pm on December 6, 7, 13, 14 and then again on December 20 through to 24.

Those visiting Santa can also enjoy discounted entry to Paradise Park.

The Paradise Park gift shop is also offering a 20 per cent discount from December 1 to 24. The park stocks a range of gifts and also offers free parking so there are lots of reasons to visit.

Group visits to the grotto for schools and playgroups are |available for more information call 01736 751023.
