A garden centre announced a range of 'festive dining experiences' for the Christmas season.

Dobbies, in Carlisle said these feature 'Santa’s Breakfast', a 'festive afternoon tea', and a 'festive lunch' offer.

The events run from November 7 to December 24.

Santa’s Breakfast offers children over three the chance to create their own soft toy with Santa’s elves, while younger children receive a pre-made teddy.

Dobbies’ Festive Afternoon Tea, at £16 per adult or £10 per child, includes finger sandwiches with seasonal fillings, scones with Cornish clotted cream, and a selection of sweet treats.

A Luxury Afternoon Tea, with additions like smoked salmon sandwiches and cheese quiche, is available for £20 per person.

The two-course Festive Lunch, priced at £17, offers a choice between Christmas dinner and vegetarian options, followed by traditional Christmas pudding or a reindeer-themed cheesecake.

Specialty drinks, including gingerbread lattes, are also available.
