An empty shop in Marlow has been transformed into a magical Christmas grotto for children. 

Sorbon Estates will officially open its Santa's Grotto at 105 High Street tomorrow (Saturday) as a Christmas gift to the community.

The shop has been transformed into a cosy bedroom, complete with furniture and a fireplace and families will be invited to step through the wardrobe into a magical wonderland to meet Santa. 

The grotto will be open from Saturdays and Sundays (December 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18) and Thursday, December 22 and Friday, December 23.
