Does anyone know....

Where is a good place (magical place) to see santa and reindeers in Warwickshire / Northamptonshire please.

we're looking for the same thing too in the same sort of area.

so far tried booking breakfast with santa at Wyevale Garden Centre in Stratford - fully booked but your local Wyevale maynot.

theres the Frost Fair at Warwick Castle - outdoor ice rink and ice slide and santa aswell. Bit expensive but probably worth it if your dcs are older than my pre-schoolers.

have seen a railway thing for northampton in our local paper but I've chucked my copy - will see if I can get another copy and will post

theres also Hatton Country World - their website has got a big agenda of daily events, not sure if you'd see real reindeer there though.

are you registered with netmums? my local pages listed railway things on the didcot railway with Thomas and a similar thing on the cholsey and Wallingford line.

Just found these:
