SANTA and his elves will be at a Harden beauty spot on Saturday, December 10.

They are visiting as part of a festive celebration at the St Ives estate.

Other attractions at the free event, from 11am to 3pm, will include a forest school.

Children will be able to make Christmas decorations using natural materials.

And in the history garden, there'll be a chance to toast marshmallows over a campfire.

Also, West Riding Woodturners Group will be displaying its crafted goods, which will be available to buy.

Activities will be based in the visitors centre and history garden.

Pam Laking – chairman of the Friends of St Ives, which is organising the event with Get Out More! – said: "It promises to be a fun day for the whole family, with something to cater for everybody.

"There'll be a real festive feel."
