A GARDEN centre near Chester is spreading Christmas cheer this year.

One lucky local hero, hospice, charity, school, or community space will win a stunning light-up reindeer to brighten up their festive season.

A spokesperson for Tarporley Garden Centre said: "Imagine the joy on the faces of children as they gaze in wonder at the illuminated reindeer or the warmth it will bring to a local hospice.

"Whether it is adding a festive touch to a community centre, or simply bringing joy to a local family, this prize will make a real difference.

"This Christmas giveaway is our way of saying thank you to the incredible people who make our community shine."
