TWO children had a ride in Santa's sleigh around a shopping park after winning a competition.
Lee Lawrence, four, and Molly Bradford, seven, won the Facebook competition for the chance to meet Santa and his reindeer and have a ride on his sleigh around Teesside Shopping Park, near Stockton-on-Tees.
Santa Claus was on hand to take present requests throughout the day, with his two reindeer, outside Mothercare.
Teesside Shopping Park manager Mike Clarke said: “The visit from Santa and his reindeer on this beautiful wintery day has made it feel a lot like Christmas for all our shoppers and retailers.
“Lee and Molly had a really wonderful time riding with Santa in his sleigh - an experience I’m sure they will always remember.”
