WESTON Pier is letting the Grinch into the building this Christmas to offer "some Christmas cheer".

This year, you will be greeted by Santa’s elves whilst you wait to meet the Grinch who’s taken over the grotto. All children will receive a gift to take home.

Starting yesterday (November 30) The Grinch will be in Weston in the build-up to Christmas.

This will only be on Saturdays including December 15 and December 21.

The grotto closes on Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24, with the final session starting at 2:40pm.

Standard Tickets to the grotto cost £14.95 which includes entry for one child and accompanying adult plus a gift.

Visitors also have the chance to step into the 'enchanted elevator' which is included with every ticket.

"Get ready to meet the one and only Mr Grinch, who has been specially invited by Santa to join in on some Christmas cheer," said an organiser of the Grinch Christmas event. "Beware as he is very naughty!"

The organiser added: "During your visit, the Grinch will begrudgingly welcome you into his Grotto, offering a moment of story time as well as a special gift from his very own stash!

"You might even have the chance to bring the Grinch a present – he has a soft spot for onions, so we highly recommend bringing one along if you want to see his nicer side!"

The grotto is located on the first floor of Weston's Grand Pier next to the Adventure Cove Cafe.
