A garden centre is giving away a light-up reindeer to a deserving local hero.

Bold Heath Garden Centre is spreading Christmas spirit with a festive giveaway.

A hospice, charity, school, or community space can be nominated to receive the illuminated reindeer, which will bring joy to children and warmth to a local hospice.

The reindeer will add a festive touch to a community centre and bring happiness to a local family.

The competition is a way to thank the exceptional people in the community.

To nominate, fill out the entry form online.

The competition runs from November 9 to November 30, with the winner announced on December 6.

The reindeer will be ready for the big day.

Part of the British Garden Centres group, the garden centre is the largest family-run garden centre group in the UK, with 65 centres.

Owned by the Stubbs family, the group has rapidly expanded since 2018, growing from its original Woodthorpe Garden Centre in Lincolnshire to 65 centres across the country.

The centre provides a wide range of gifts for the festive season, catering to different budgets and lifestyles.

Shoppers can find toys, homeware, toiletries, plants, and gardening supplies.

Fern Christmas and Fern Lighting are the centre's exclusive brands for festive home decoration.

The garden centre also has an events page where people can find out about festive activities.

The group employs around 2,700 staff across its various operations, including restaurants and distribution centres.
