Father Christmas grotto for local youngsters

 

In Santa's grotto!Hundreds of excited young children enjoyed the opportunity to meet Father Christmas during his annual visit to Barry.

 

In a successful festive event, which was another partnership project between the Vale of Glamorgan Council and the Vibe, Santa handed out little gifts from his special Town Hall grotto.

 

Passers-by were entertained by music courtesy of the Vale of Glamorgan Brass Band and the RAF St Athan Voluntary Band, and Father Christmas was keen to take away any present requests, promising that his elves were already busy packing for the Christmas Eve sleigh run.
