A Christmas light trail is free to enjoy this year at a city garden centre as Father Christmas pays a visit.

The light trail at St Peter's Garden Centre in Worcester, which is open this Saturday, is free to enter.

William Blake, the managing director at the garden centre, said: "This year we're very pleased to announce that our Christmas Light trail is free! We believe that ticket pricing shouldn't hold any child back from enjoying festivities and with many Light Trails and much competition in the area we've decided to make ours a little different this year. 

We've got plenty of other festivities for families to enjoy around the garden centre too, with a Mini Fun Fair, Letters to Santa Post box, Pampered Ponies will also be here every weekend too.

Along with our Free Light Trail we're also delighted to further announce that we're welcoming donations where the proceeds will go to the following charities: Acorns Children's Hospice; New Hope Children's Charity; Little Princess Trust

"Our Light Trail may not be the biggest and it may not be the best, but it's got a lot of heart. We look forward to seeing you all."
