Cowbridge - Sunday - Father Christmas and Reindeer

lisa76

Hi, my mum mentioned that Father Christmas is in Cowbridge tomorrow with reindeer.

Does anyone have any details about what time he arrives?

Also any good tips for parking, because I've heard it gets really hectic

Hiya lisa76 it was mentioned in the Gem newspaper - check in there. I have never been although it sounds lovely.

Welsh Dragon you are a star! Thanks for the info.

Luckily my Mum did ring me early yesterday morning to tell me she'd got it wrong and it was this weekend!

I will probably nip along as long as it's not raining.

Santa and his reindeer are going to be in Winter Wonderland in Cardiff every Sunday afternoon leading up to Christmas. My friend saw them in Cardiff Bay last Sunday, and said that the kids were sweet but were too scared to touch them because the were a bit pongy! It's probably worth it to see the little ones' faces though.

Beware though, Santa's Grotto is there too, and costs a whacking £5.50 per child!

I might try Cardiff this weekend. They are doing Santa cruises down the Bay, I'm just a bit worried about my 2 year old jumping overboard with excitement!!

Went to Cowbridge last weekend - won't be going again! OK I missed the parade, which is probably the best bit, but after queuing over an hour and a half to see Santa, with my daughter, who to be fair was EXCELLENT, all for a poxy Kinder egg and 2 mins with Santa in a rubbish grotto, you could say I was disappointed!

Let's see if I can find a better Father Christmas and grotto somewhere else
