Christmas joy set to arrive in Boroughbridge next month
A Boroughbridge pub has joined forces with the Boroughbridge Lions to set up a Santa's grotto to bring some festive cheer to the town next month.
The Grantham Arms is hoping to set up an outdoor winter wonderland for local children on December, 20. The Boroughbridge Lions will be bringing along Santa and his sleigh to add to the Christmas spirit.
This year, The Grantham Arms and Boroughbridge Lions have missed out on income due to the pandemic.
The Lions are hoping the donations they earn from this this will give them a chance to earn vital funds to donate back to other local community efforts.
Simon Wade, owner of The Grantham Arms, is hopeful he will be able to reopen his doors next month to allow the event to go ahead. He has said all the necessary measures will be made to ensure the event is safe.
