Christmas is just around the corner, and Santa Claus is gearing up for his first public appearance at Rumwell Farm Shop, nestled on the A38 between Taunton and Wellington in Somerset. The jolly figure will make his grand entrance at 9:30 am on December 10, eliciting joy and wonder from eager children eagerly awaiting his arrival.
Anne Mitchell, a partner at the farm shop, revealed the exciting news, highlighting Santa’s decision to rest his reindeer on this day to ensure they are in optimal condition for their globetrotting duties on Christmas Eve. To maintain the element of surprise, the mode of transport that Santa will use remains a closely guarded secret, adding an extra layer of anticipation to the event.
Conjuring up a festive atmosphere, the Farm Shop plans to host Christmas carols and tunes before Santa’s arrival, encouraging visitors to sing along. Once Santa alights from his mysterious transport, he will engage with the gathered crowd, spreading holiday cheer, while his lively elves distribute sweets to delighted onlookers.
