\n<\/em><\/strong>Over the past few weekends the A5 has been closed for traffic from Kilsby to Whilton Locks, causing disruption to journeys for both our customers and staff.<\/em><\/p>\n
This weekend sees Santa visit Whilton Locks Winter Wonderland, for the very first time this year in his magical grotto, and we told him about the roadworks and asked on this special weekend (our FREE Family Fun Weekend) if there was anything he could do. \u201cLeave it with me.\u201d He chuckled.<\/em><\/p>\n So today, Santa has sent us confirmation the A5 road will remain open all weekend (Hurray!) he phoned us too, this is what he said:<\/em> The response was terrific!<\/strong> The Magic of Christmas – Part 2<\/em><\/strong> So we asked Santa again about this weekend but he said he was getting very busy (it is nearly Christmas after all!) but he\u2019d ask his good friend Jack Frost to help us.<\/em><\/p>\n So we have just got off the ph-ho-ho-ne to Jack and this is what he said:<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMy magic isn\u2019t as strong as Santa\u2019s so I wasn\u2019t able to keep the A5 open this weekend however, I have sent a really cold chill so at least that\u2019ll freeze the Forkers whilst they work.\u201d<\/em> We look forward to this weeks news on the road and suspect a part 3!<\/p>\n UPDATE.<\/strong> We particularly liked this random post on Facebook, following Santa\u2019s Magic… <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whilton Locks Garden Centre winter wonderland was put in a frustrating situation with roadworks on the A5 suggesting road closures […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1304,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[365,1,10,367,366,368,297,274,364],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advertising","category-uncategorised","category-creative-design","category-design","category-digital-design","category-graphic-design","category-marketing","category-news","category-social-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nickpricecreatives.com\/websitedesign\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t want anything spoiling the Whilton Locks Winter Wonderland and the opening of my grotto this weekend so I arranged that the Forkers kept the road open.\u201d<\/em>
\nAt least that\u2019s what we think he said, as the phone line to the North Pole was a little crackly! #Hohoho<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThe following week and the roadworks loomed again. This week the A5 would be shut. So here\u2019s what we wrote:<\/p>\n
\nLast week, for the opening of the Grotto, we were so lucky in that Santa performed his magic and ensured the roadworks didn\u2019t happen on the A5 and the road was fully open. Hurrah!<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWell that\u2019s what we think he said – the phone line was a little frosty!

\nToday: Santa, Skating, Singing (with Elsa) and so much more…
