SANTA has taken up residence at a Hare Hatch plant nursery ready for festive wishes to be shared with him.
And this is a Santa with a heart as he is raising funds for charities supported by the Rotary Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh.
The group are acting as Elves for the grotto which has opened at Hare Hatch Sheeplands on London Road.
Last year, they raised £3,000, which was shared with charities including CIRDIC Reading, JAC Binfield, and Woodley Food Bank.
Sessions can be booked for visits to his grotto, which includes a gift as well as time with the big man.
There are also special breakfast events on selected dates in the centre’s cafe.
