Garage providing festive spirit with grotto and visiting donkey
JJ’s Garage, Convenience Store and Garden Centre has pushed the boat out this year to bring some Christmas spirit to their customers.
Not only have they gone all out to install a festive grotto so their young customers can meet Santa, but they’ve also acquired the services of a four-legged mascot for the festive season.

“Our family love Christmas and we wanted to bring something different to Woodhall Spa.
“We thought, “what about a massive tree with 14,000 lights on it?” “Let’s not stop there,” Michelle my wife said, “Let’s get a donkey!”
So, Scott and Michelle were loaned Charlie from a local smallholder at Timberland.

On top of four-legged visitors, JJ’s also has a cabin for its very own Santa Claus, who will be visiting throughout December, and there will also be a snow machine for visiting children.
You can also admire JJ’s locally-sourced Chrsitmas tree.
