SANTA Claus is raising money for Manorlands this Christmas with his grotto in Keighley town centre.

Proceeds from the annual grotto in the Airedale shopping centre will this year be given to the Oxenhope hospice.

Santa settled down for the first time in his grotto last Sunday during the switching on of Keighley’s Christmas lights.

Santa, pictured with elf Rachel Walmsley and one of his young fans, will be in residence every Saturday and Sunday until Christmas, and also December 22, 23 and 24, each day from around 10am to 4.30pm.

It is £4 per child, which includes a photo opportunity and a gift.
