A KEIGHLEY Lions Santa's grotto has been hailed as a huge success.

It was staged over two weekends at Cliffe Castle Museum in the town.

Four hundred children attended.

Youngsters had the chance to write a letter to Santa and spend time with him, and each received a present.

Lions mascot Roary was also there.

The club hopes to repeat the grotto next year, in partnership with Bradford Council's museums and galleries team.

Keighley Lions Club president Allan Clark says: "I am so proud of our team that made this possible.

"The grotto was beautiful and was such a positive thing for everyone involved.

"I thank our members for the hours they put in and our friends at Bradford Council who allowed us to use such a wonderful, cultural icon as the setting for the grotto. The feedback we've received has been unbelievable and we can't wait for next year!"
