Father Christmas had a busy weekend in his glittering grotto hearing children’s Christmas wishes.

Santa Claus was at Sheerness Swimming Pool at the Healthy Living Centre for two weekends, and he listened to more than 80 youngsters’ festive wishes.

A grotto was set up at the pool where children could meet Santa and tell him what was on their Christmas lists.

All the children were given a gift bag with some festive goodies in.

Facility manager at the centre, James Reynolds, said: “All the kids really enjoyed it and they were so excited to see Santa.”
