Forget the sleigh, Santa showed up on a double decker bus in Milton Keynes!

Hundreds of families lined the entrance to Frosts Garden Centre in Woburn Sands on Saturday as Father Christmas arrived with his reindeer '“ and a couple of roller-skating Christmas puddings!

The event marked the start of Frosts’ Christmas activities and the opening of the grotto, and Santa was joined by some of the cast of this year’s Dick Whittington Panto at Milton Keynes Theatre, all eager to meet the good girls and boys of Milton Keynes.

“Santa’s Arrival grows each year and it’s wonderful to see so many familiar faces as well as new families,” said Managing Director at Frosts, James Frost. “Our Christmas display and product range is bigger than ever before and with the newly refurbished garden centre, we’re hoping Christmas will be a cracker this year at Frosts.”
