Green Grotto at Talkin Tarn

(Date of issue: Friday, 26 November 2010

Santa will be making a visit to Talkin Tarn this Christmas.

Preparations are currently underway to create a magical Green Grotto at the Country Park. Following an environmentally-friendly theme, the Alex Boathouse will be decked out in displays ‘recycled’ from a former Tullie House exhibition.

The Green Grotto will be open in the Alex Boathouse on Saturday 4 - Sunday 5 December, followed by Saturday 11 - Sunday 12 December and Saturday 18 - Sunday 19 December, between 11am and 3pm each day.

As well as meeting Santa and receiving a small gift, there will also be the chance for local children to post their letter to Lapland. Entry is £2.95 per child.

Three-course Christmas lunches are also available in the Talkin Tarn tearoom, each day, until Wednesday, 22 December booking is essential. Evening functions are also available. Telephone 016977 41050 to make a booking.

A range of Christmas cards and gifts are also on sale at Talkin Tarn’s giftshop, perfect as last minute stocking fillers.
