A friend of mine has just moved to Llangollen.


They had some kind of pre-Christmas festival/procession recently in which reindeer were promised.


What they got was an embarrassed looking young man with a reindeer head and antlers sort of stuck on top of his own head.


She has photos to prove it.


Be afraid. Be very afraid.

?18 ???????


Bloody hell :(


Are they keeping the reindeer upstairs? Poor things. How are they getting them upstairs in the first place? There isn't a lift .....


ETA: Ah - just realised it says Dulwich Park. I thought it was the Lodge upstairs at the EDT :))

The Question should be, has anyone tried to go to a grotto in W1 with two children under Five?


Has anyone tried to use public transport and go to a grotto in W1 with a child?


Real Reindeers a fantastic location, a wonderful park, no charge for parking.


Santa,toys,actives, fun, for all.Spend more on a take away and don't feel as good.

Merry Christmas

The Question should be, why should somebody take advantage of the difficulties of taking small children up to town by charging frankly ridiculous prices for a local visit to Santa, real reindeer or not.



This may be Dulwich/East Dulwich, but not everybody can afford to shell out ?18 a child plus money for adults plus money for photos etc..


Are people allowed to take their own photos? I'm guessing probably not, but happy to be proved wrong.



ETA: And last time I bought a takeaway for a small child, it didn't cost ?18 :))

18 quid! Santa doesn't charge for his time at goose green school's Xmas fair. But then again, dulwich village is another planet. There's currently an advert for a governess in the shop window in the village. Wonder how much they'll pay Jane Eyre.

?18 a child Plus ?5 an adult. Or ?42 for a family of four. That's OUTRAGEOUS!


Real reindeer are very disappointing in RL, smelly and quite small ... And not the magical creature one might expect.


Apart from the grotto all the other benefits, wonderful location and free parking are intrinsic to dulwich park really


"This is a local Christmas Grotto it would be good to support it. ". So, how will the local community benefit from this? If you can't specify then I hope people stay away in droves


The majority of primary schools create wonderful santa grottos for a pound or two per child

I'm an events manager so I'm aware of the amount of work and effort needed to put on a project of this scale. I'm also a mother of two children who still believes in the magic of christmas. With the amount of activities included, I think, it's well worth the price tag.I've just booked so I'm putting my money where my mouth is....

I'll keep you posted.

My children still believe in the magic of Christmas too. Doesn't mean I'd pay ?23 for them to see Santa and decorate a gingerbread man when they can do it for free or a couple of pounds at any of the school fetes. As a new poster you should keep an eye out for the dates


And I think we're all aware of the amount of work that goes into planning this type of event.


But the cost is a bunting cupcake too far

Another suspicious first post. I don't suppose you happen to be managing this particular event by any chance?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
