Santa brought joy to more than 60 children at a Chatteris cafe on Saturday morning.

He posed for pictures and handed out sweets at Cafe Gustosi, of Arkade 4, High Street, which has been owned by Vladas Kaupas for the past two years.

Mr Kaupas said: “We wanted to bring joy to the town and think it is wrong that at shopping centres parents are charged money for their children to have their picture taken with Santa.

“Therefore, we decided to put on the event free of charge.”
