With Christmas just around the corner, one park in the south Lakes has been overrun by busy little helpers as they prepare for a visit from Santa.

The Elves at Ford Park in Ulverston are busy behind the scenes preparing for a very special guest.

The garden will be lit up with thousands of lights and the fernery will be magically transformed into a beautiful grotto.

The big man is dropping in to Ford Park on Saturday December 7 and Sunday December 8.

There will be gifts for the good boys and girls, Christmas crafts, a reindeer hunt, and lots to see before meeting Santa in his sleigh.

There may also be one or two naughty elves in the garden so be on the lookout.
