This is because volunteers, councillors and a leading Mansfield businesswoman have come together to decorate a Mansfield Woodhouse community centre as a dazzling Santa’s Grotto. Supported by Datsa Gaile, of All Things Decor Ltd and owner of the Chad’s Business of the Year, the Focus Point centre on Vale Road has been transformed into a Christmas display rivalling the North Pole itself. And on Sunday, December 22, 126 children received free presents, a selection box and reindeer antlers and of course had a quiet chat with Santa. See our gallery below.
