Green Grotto at Talkin Tarn
Preparations underway for Santa’s visit
(Date of issue: Monday, 28 November 2011)
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.
The Green Grotto will be open in the Alex Boathouse at
the weekend (Saturday 3 - Sunday 4 December), followed by
Saturday 10 - Sunday 11 December and Saturday 17 - Sunday 18
December, between 11am and 3pm each day.
As well as meeting Santa and receiving a small gift, there will
also be the chance for children to post their letter to Lapland.
Entry is £2.95 per child.
The chance to try out some tasty homemade treats is also on
offer at Talkin Tarn this festive season.
Christmas lunches will be available at the Boathouse Tearoom
between Friday 2 December and Friday 23 December (Wednesday –
Sunday). Evening bookings are also available on request.
Their traditional three course meal costs only £19.95 and
includes a vegetarian option too. The tearoom has disabled access
and during the festive period, a log burning stove will add to the
Christmas spirit. Telephone 016977 41050 to book your place.
A range of Christmas cards and gifts are also on sale at Talkin
Tarn’s giftshop, perfect as last minute stocking fillers.
