FATHER Christmas and his wife swapped the traditional festive sleigh for a stretch limo when they arrived as guests of honour at Darwen Heritage and Craft Centre.
The couple, who will be at the centre every Saturday through December, arrived in style to open the centre on Saturday.
Attractions at the centre, at Belgrave Square, Bolton Road, included a storytelling by Mrs Christmas, lucky dips, recycled toys and handcrafted gifts made by local people.
The festive couple, alias John Drinkall and Janice Williams, are pictured enjoying a seasonal drink with their helpers.
