SANTA and his reindeer are getting ready to make a special festive appearance at the Tesco Extra store at Hayes Yeading.

Dropping by in his sleigh, Santa, his elf helpers and two reindeer will join Tesco colleagues at the store, on Glencoe Road in Hayes this Sunday, 20th November, for a day of Christmas-themed fun.

Customers will be able to meet and pet the reindeer for free from midday until 4pm when Santa and his red-nosed friends will have to fly back to prepare for Christmas!

Other attractions on the day include face painters and festive treats to eat and drink as customers get ready for Christmas.

Store manager, Mark Carey, said: “We are really looking forward to welcoming Santa and his reindeer on Sunday! It will be a great way to start the Christmas countdown and will bring a fantastic festive atmosphere to the store.

“We understand that this time of year can be particularly stressful for lots of people, so we’re ho-ho-hoping that having a bit of festive fun can help customers enjoy the start of the Christmas period.”

The Tesco store opening hours are Monday to Saturday 6am to 9pm and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
