Help us find Father Christmas!
After the Christmas Light Switch On, Father Christmas gave us a beautiful knitted Santa, but we've lost him!
See if you can spot him is a shop window - but beware, he'll be moving from shop window to shop window every few days.
He could be anywhere in the village - on the High Street, Swan Yard, Brisker Court, Greville Court or Station Road so keep your eyes peeled!
