BENTS Garden and Home’s Festive Family Fun Weekend returns on December 7 and 8.

Father Christmas will entertain little ones at the Glazebury centre with his reindeer.

And they will be joined by more of Santa’s festive friends with acrobatic elves jumping in on the action.

Bents’ forest of freshly cut trees will lead to a children’s entertainment area with fairground rides and a reindeer treasure hunt.

The fun will take place throughout the weekend between 11am and 4pm in which adults can enjoy a glass of hot punch and mince pie, on sale for Bents’ Charity of the Year.

Later on in the month, on December 20, the Warrington Road centre will host a Christmas carol singalong.

Choirs from churches will rejoice at Bents’ Winter Food Market between 2pm and 4pm to provide plenty of festive cheer to shoppers.
