Buy photos » Webbs will be unveiling its outdoor rink on Saturday.

THERE will be plenty of festive fun at Webbs garden centre in Wychbold in the coming weeks, leading up to Christmas.

This Saturday (November 24), the centre will also be unveiling its own ice rink tomorrow (Saturday).

That will enable residents to enjoy outdoor skating and will be open everyday, except Christmas Day and Boxing Day, until January 6.

Each session is 45 minutes long and includes skate hire. Tickets start from just £5.

Webbs' executive chairman Ed Webb said: “There’s nothing to make you feel festive more than skating outdoors on real ice.

“It’s magical skating outside in the early evening with lights twinkling and frost in the air and just as much fun in the quieter sessions, perhaps teaching your children to skate.”

Tickets can also be bought in store at Webbs, Wychbold.

And, last Saturday (November 18), Santa delighted crowds when he arrived by sleigh.

He will now take pride of place at Webbs' grotto, which will be open from now until Christmas Eve.

Tickets to see Father Christmas are £6 per child. That includes one accompanying adult and booking is recommended.

Mr Webb added: “It’s such a magical sight to see Father Christmas arrive on a sleigh with his reindeer.

"Reindeer are central to the idea of Christmas and this will be a great chance for our customers to see these magnificent animals up close.”
