The event experienced 'teething problems' on its opening night on Saturday
Mrs Claus was late because she 'missed her bus' while Elsa 'got timing wrong'
Santa's Magical Drive Thru Adventure in East Park, Hull, was advertised as a Covid-secure 'much-needed treat' for families this festive season. But the event experienced 'teething problems' on its opening night on Saturday with parents slamming it as 'nothing like the description'.
Mrs Claus was late because she 'missed her bus' while
Elsa 'got her timing wrong' according to
organiser Martin Holland - who insisted 'lessons were learnt' and any issues have now been ironed out. One parent called the Grinch at the drive-thru (left) the 'stuff of nightmares'. Right: A sad-looking Christmas tree at the event. Inset: Santa in his grotto.

Comments
Families who paid £25 per car for a socially distanced North Pole experience drive-through were led to expect a Covid-safe 'winter wonderland' with no fewer than nine reindeer. Instead, some complained, what they found in a damp car park with spray-on snow (top left) was a 'shocking' disappointment. They described finding just two reindeer (bottom left) - which they had to pay an extra £95 to feed (inset) - and a grotto where Santa did not hand out presents (bottom right). Others grumbled that Santa was skinny and had a black beard. Pictured top right: Scaffolding and tarpaulin at the Manchester Drive-Thru Chrismas.
