He said: "With all the doom and gloom, we have had lots of families contact us saying that with the grottos not opening they had no way of getting their Christmas family photo.

"We asked our Click Props Backdrops team to create three amazing back drops to help families create the perfect family photo for Christmas.

"Bookings are being taken from October 31, right through November, people need to book online and pay online.
