Metro's executive editor Richard Hartley-Parkinson took his four-year-old to Chessington World of Adventures — in the thick of Storm Bert.
Father Christmas is welcoming children at Chessington World, whatever the weather A theme park in November during a storm might not sound like the best way to entertain a four-year-old, but with a bit of festive magic and a visit to Santa, anything is possible. It certainly seemed the perfect recipe for a good day out for my young son who has been wanting me to put the Christmas tree up since the beginning of November.
Naturally, excitement took over and by 5am he felt Father Christmas should be up and ready for our arrival. Thankfully, we weren’t booked in for another couple of hours. When we arrived at Chessington World, I could see him scanning the theme park for the first glimpse of Santa. He was only mildly distracted by the Room on a Broom attraction and the penguins barely got a look-in, poor things.
