SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN...THIS WEEKEND!

It has been a busy few months at the North Pole, but Santa now feels on top of the workload, enough to be able to leave the last few weeks of organising to his reindeer and elf pals. While they make the finishing touches to sack-loads of presents, the man in the famous red coat will be spending the lead up to Christmas with us, right here in Milton Keynes. On Saturday (Nov 15), Santa will make his big entrance at Frosts Garden Centre in Woburn Sands, to take up position in his grotto through to Crimbo. He will arrive - reindeer and elves in tow - at 4pm with a modern laser light show to boot! Visitors to the grotto in the coming weeks will be in for a treat.  The trip - lasting around 45 minutes - transports families into a winter wonderland, on a journey of fairy-tales and fantasy. Little mites will make reindeer food to leave out on Christmas Eve, and get stuck into the festive flow before arriving at Santa's living room where the beardy-one will share a story, and dish out the choccy treats. Parents won't miss out either - they can get stuck into mince pies. When they leave Santa, families move on to the elves' workshop where the kids will get to choose their own present from the rows and rows of gifts. Christmas is about to officially start! Tickets prices for the grotto visit are £9.99 for children, £4.49 for kids, and all children must be accompanied by an adult.
