Father Christmas will be joined by a fire eater when they are guests of honour at a fun day next weekend.

Preston Park, in Eaglescliffe, Teesside, will be holding its Christmas fun-day next Saturday, with activities including pudding hunt, storytelling and face painting.

For the grown-ups there will be a wide selection of crafts on offer at a craft fair.

Standard admission charges apply and tickets cost £1.20 for adults, 60p for children and concessions also apply.

The event will take place between noon and 4pm but if, in the meantime, any youngsters wish to drop Father Christmas a line to let him know what they would like for Christmas, they will be able to find a postbox at Preston Hall Museum.
