Father Christmas comes to Hornsea Freeport this Saturday, 15 November
Hornsea Freeport came to life on Saturday morning when Santa arrived with his reindeer. Assisted by members of the Rotary Club of Hornsea and East Riding, Father Christmas landed at the shopping complex after a long and tiring night travelling.
The "Elves" who looked after him were delighted that they could help raise money for the various charities the Rotary Club support and worked hard throughout the weekend.
