An energy supplier is opening a Christmas grotto.

Utilita's Energy Hub in Newport will be transformed into a festive grotto on Saturday, December 7.

Children attending will receive a free gift, and there will be a family photo opportunity. The gifts are aimed at youngsters up to the age of ten.

However, all children are welcome to meet and take a photograph with Santa Claus. One gift per child will be available free of charge while stocks last.

Simon Jackson, manager at the Newport Hub, said: "We’re looking forward to welcoming families and children to our energy hub on December 7.

"Excited tots will get an opportunity to take photos with Santa Claus and receive a free gift between midday and 2pm.

"There’s plenty on offer for visiting adults too – you will be offered a cuppa as well as free and simple energy advice to help make your energy spend go further this winter.

"Visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item – if they can – which will be distributed to the Isle of Wight Food Bank."
