CHILDREN like seven-year-old Devan Trotman were able to get up close and personal with reindeer on Sunday at the Woolgate Centre in Witney.

Didcot-based Real Reindeer provided two animals for children to feed.

Devan’s mum, Natasha Whitelock, said: “He had a lovely time. He really likes reindeers and he’s seen them there before so he really enjoyed it.”

Rodney Hartnell, assistant manager at the Woolgate Centre, said “We had a really good day and a really good week to be honest. The weather was quite conducive to shopping and everything’s nice and positive at the moment.”
