A CHRISTMAS grotto will open later this month in Chelmsford High Street.

Moving into the premises vacated by Stead and Simpson, next door to Thomas Cook, Frost will be open on Friday, November 28, offering visitors a magical experience before spending time with Santa.

The grotto is open until Christmas Eve, from 10am to 6pm. Entry is £6.50 per child and includes a gift.
