Santa's Grotto at Four Seasons to open especially for children with autism
The shopping centre, in Mansfield town centre, will host a special grotto session, so that youngsters with autism and other disabilities can visit Santa.
Children who find busy shopping centres overwhelming can enjoy the whole Father Christmas experience in a more relaxing and calm environment.
The session will take place on Sunday December 16, from 4.30pm until 6pm, and is open to all children who prefer a quieter setting away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas shoppers.
