CHRISTMAS wish lists can be personally handed to Father Christmas at the Arrow Valley Countryside Centre.

He will be in a specially designed hollow tree grotto this weekend and next weekend to hand out presents to youngsters and collect Christmas lists.

And for other visitors to the Icknield Street Drive centre, there will be the opportunity to design and paint a piece of glassware for £1 a lesson.

Youngsters between the ages of six and 12 can also take part in activity mornings at the centre which will run from 10am-noon on December 21, 22 and 23.

Children will be able to make gifts and novelties for Christmas during the sessions, which cost £2.

Entrance to the centre is free but it will cost £2 to see Father Christmas.
