AN ANDOVER charity has organised an affordable day out ahead of Christmas at its Santa's grotto.
Andover Community Engage (ACE) is preparing for its Christmas event on December 18 from 10am to 1pm where everyone is welcome to come and meet Santa, make reindeer food and more.
People are recommended to book for this event and tickets cost £3 per child, which also includes choosing a gift of your choice for an adult that you can secretly wrap.
There are also Christmas clothes and pyjamas you can pick up ready for Christmas Day.
Tania Hall, founder of the charitable organisation, said: "It feels absolutely amazing to run this event and support families, especially at this time of year."
Christmas at ACE will be held at its temporary premises at Unit 14 Anton Trading Estate, next to Anton Vets.
Due to water damage at its previous residence ACE had to relocate, but thanks to local company Stannah it will be located in Anton Trading Estate until January when it will look for more permanent premises.
Throughout December ACE is also holding festive gatherings, with its lounge open to everyone to do any Christmas activities of your choice at no cost.
