FATHER Christmas will be paying an early visit to Cwmbran this Saturday.

He will arrive in the main car park of Greenmeadow Community Farm at 12pm and join the elves, carol singers and donkeys as they walk along the road to the farm.

The first children can enter the grotto and meet Father Christmas when it opens at 1pm.

Other attractions on the day include craft stalls, food stalls, ale sampling with the Cwmbran Brewery, Jerry the Clown, and a merry-go-round.

The grotto will be open until Sunday 23 December.
