Adults and children alike were treated to a magical festive experience whilst Christmas shopping in Colne last weekend with the arrival of Roger the Reindeer, Father Christmas, and other special guests including Bubbles the Elf, Nutracker Soldier, and Elsa from Frozen courtesy of Colne BID.

“Rudolf was the star attraction as he was petted and hugged, as well as fed custard cream biscuits (his favourite treat!)," said Colne BID manager, Lisa Durkin. "Father Christmas was on hand to chat to all the children and make sure they are all being good girls and boys before the big day. He even Facetimed two children, via their mum’s ‘phone. The look of surprise on their faces was one of pure delight.”
