"I've been going on the Sleigh ride for a good forty years, honestly today was the best ever. The excitement of the elves, the poem before it took off, the music. And Father Christmas himself was fantastic, even remembered (with much hilarity) my dad who's been visiting on the sleigh since 1956. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you." - Ellie - December 2024
