Sidmouth Lifeboat stood in for Father Christmas’s sleigh as the crew delivered him to Wyevale Garden Centre on Saturday.
With the festive season in full swing, the man in red met families for a day of seasonal delights.
He will be back at the garden centre and on December 17, 18, 22, 23 and 24, between 11am and 4pm.
Visitors to the grotto are asked to make a small donation to the Rotary Club of Otter Valley.
