Children and the young-at-heart have this week got into the Christmas spirit by making a visit to Santa's Grotto Winter Wonderland at the Minus 5 Ice Bar. Admission is free from midday until 3pm until December 24 for people to get their photo taken with Santa Claus. Joe Dodgshun visited the grotto with his camera.
