PARENTS and children are still flocking to the Christmas Walkthrough Experience at Smith’s Garden Centre on the Oxford Road, New Denham.

For £2, with half going to charity, visitors are taken on a guided tour of the reindeer stable, inter-active elves workshop, naughty-or-nice postbox, elves cabin and ice lake with (friendly) penguins and polar bears.

Sadly, it doesn’t include a visit to Santa’s grotto as he is now fully booked through to Christmas.

So far, the centre has had more than 3,000 visitors, including parties from Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund, Rainbow Trust Charity, London and NW University Healthcare NHS Trust, Eastcote and Northwood special needs pupils and Sunshine House.
