Local boys and girls had a huge surprise this week when they had an early visit from Santa!

Santa popped along to the Barley Mow in Hartford and whilst his reindeers are resting for the big night, the Huntingdon and District Round Table were there to help him hand out presents along with Cllr Karl Webb, Mayor of Huntingdon.

Cllr Karl Webb said: “I had a wonderful time helping Santa to bring a smile to the children’s faces. A huge thank you to the dreamdrops committee and volunteers for making this possible, and for inviting me along to join in the fun.”

Christine Luckham, dreamdrops committee member, who helped to co-ordinate the event, said: “It was so much fun, and the children were amazing. Each family had their own time slot to visit Santa making it extra special.”

Twins Nathan and Matthew along with their sister Emily and brother Joshua, were delighted that Santa had made a special visit on their sixth birthday.

All the children and their families had a wonderful time and Santa was thrilled to see everyone, he said: “Even though it is my busiest time of the year, it was a pleasure to stop off in Huntingdon and have a talk and give presents to some wonderful children. Just to see their faces made the evening worthwhile. Merry Christmas to you all.”

Anne-Marie Hamilton, Chairman of dreamdrops said: “Santa’s surprise visit was a huge success, and everyone was delighted to see him.  A big thank you to the Huntingdon and District Round Table for helping Santa on the day and to Cllr Karl Webb for choosing dreamdrops as his charity of the year. And thank you to Mark Dalton at the Barley Mow, for hosting Santa’s visit, we are overwhelmed by the wonderful support we receive for local families, and this was the perfect way to bring some festive joy to the local children.”
