Rudolf in Dunchurch!
Rudolf the red nose reindeer has turned up in Dunchurch.
Children of all ages worried that the roadworks in the centre of the village will hamper Santa getting their presents to them on Christmas day need not worry anymore.
Rudolf the red nose reindeer has turned up to reassure people!
The roadworks that has plagued the centre of Dunchurch for many weeks causing long tailbacks will be no trouble for this magical reindeer. The traffic lights will not trouble him as he will fly over them helping Santa to deliver the all-important gifts.
The tradition of dressing the statue of Lord Scott a prominent 19th century landowner and MP has gone on for many years bringing joy to people not only in Dunchurch but all over the world via the Internet.
Many people taking pictures and selfies help to raise the traditions profile and this year there is even a sleigh for children to sit in to take a photo!
The BBC has even done a piece on this tradition interviewing many people in this picturesque village.
Many wait excitingly to see who it has been dressed as, some even placing bets on it and in the past the statue has been dressed up as Pingu, Paddington and even the Grinch who that year didn’t manage to steal Christmas. No one has any I-deer who dresses the statue but it is believed to be the Dunchurch Pixies.
