Dobbies Garden Centres is offering a range of festive experiences at its Shepton Mallet store this Christmas.

Visitors can enjoy Santa's Breakfast, a Festive Afternoon Tea, or seasonal drinks and cakes.

Santa's Breakfast is a fun-filled event where children over three can build their own festive soft toy with Santa's help, while those under three receive a pre-made teddy.

The event includes storytelling, festive games, and a chance to meet Santa.

The whole family can enjoy a hearty breakfast, with children choosing from a regular, vegetarian, or continental menu.

The regular menu includes pork sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and baked beans, while the vegetarian option features Quorn sausages.

The continental option offers a croissant, jam, yoghurt, and banana.

Dobbies' Festive Afternoon Tea, priced at £16 per person or two for £25, is a great way for couples, friends, and families to spend quality time together.

It includes finger sandwiches with seasonal flavours, festive scones, and sweet treats like Christmas pudding loaf and mince pie.

Children can enjoy their own Festive Afternoon Tea for £10, which includes a turkey and ham sandwich, a scone, carrot and cucumber sticks, a Christmas pudding brownie, elf doughnuts, mini gingerbread men, and squash.

For £20 per person or two for £32, customers can upgrade to a Luxury Afternoon Tea, which includes cheese and tomato quiche, sausage roll, and elevated finger sandwiches.

Dobbies also offers a Festive Lunch with two courses for £17 per person.

Available from November 7 to December 24, the menu includes a Christmas dinner or vegetarian Christmas dinner, followed by a traditional Christmas pudding or reindeer cheesecake.

Adam Veysey, head of food development at Dobbies, said: "Christmas is just around the corner and what better way to spend the festive season than together with your family, friends and loved ones over some good food and wholesome activities.

"Our festive restaurant experiences are always popular with customers looking to relax and catch up and we’re excited to showcase this year’s offering.

"The reindeer cheesecake is a brand-new option this year and the tiramisu layer cake is a must-try.

"We’ve also extended the Santa’s Breakfast menu with a continental option for children.

"We can’t wait to welcome everyone along to the restaurant to try out the new dishes and much-loved Santa’s Breakfast experience."

Santa’s Breakfast runs from November 30 to December 24 and is priced from £8.60 per adult, £16.99 for children between three to 10 years old, and £13.99 for under threes.
