Cardwell’s retail general manager, Paul Carmichael said: “Santa’s been in touch with us and says he can’t wait to meet all the youngsters who’ll come to Cardwell to see him this year.

“It’s a magical time of year for families and it’s wonderful to see the excitement on youngsters’ faces when they visit Santa in his Grotto.”
