SANTA had a rare quiet day at The Bonded Warehouse yesterday (Sunday) as snowy scenes engulfed Stourbridge.

The Stourbridge Navigation Trust, which runs The Bonded Warehouse, lays on a series of festive boat trips in the run-up to Christmas and they often sell out.

Despite the Arctic blast, which hit the region at the weekend, the Trust's dedicated Santa still turned up to work yesterday but it was one of his quietest shifts yet.

Tickets are still available for Santa boat trips on Saturday December 16, Sunday December 17, Friday December 22 and Saturday December 23.

They cost £9 for both children and adults and include a boat trip and gift from Santa for little ones and a boat trip, mince pie and a drink for adults.
