SANTA Claus will be making a very special visit to Burnham hovercraft station this weekend when he sets up a glistening grotto.

Father Christmas will be at the BARB station on Burnham’s seafront greeting children and their families from his sleigh and handing out gifts during the event on Satur-day, December 20, and Sunday, December 21, from 10am to 4pm both days.

There will be a small entry charge of £3, to include a free present, with the funds going towards BARB's life-saving work across Somerset.

It has helped and rescued hundreds of people over the past 22 years.
