Father Christmas reads Cwmbran Life. He let slip that he’s a fan of the site and always catches up on local news when he visits the grotto at the town’s Christmas factory, Festive Productions.
The factory shop and his grotto opened to the public last Saturday. Father Christmas gave Cwmbran Life an exclusive interview.
He said: “It’s very busy. I’m very excited. Twelve weeks to go and we’re Christmas Eve already, can you believe it? I don’t think we had September. It’s so exciting here, lots of things to see.
“I will be at Festive every weekend throughout October and November, Saturdays and Sundays. There are one or two Saturdays, mid to end of November, where I’ll be putting on Christmas lights, but I will be here for the morning sessions, so please come along.”
I asked him how he felt about this Christmas factory in Cwmbran
He said: “It’s amazing. It’s amazing. Every year I come here, and I think they can’t do better than this, and every year they prove me wrong. It’s sensational. I’m so happy to see so many people. It’s a blessing.”
Note for parents: There’s no charge to see Father Christmas at Festive Productions.
