Christmas has come early at a country park as it is visited by a special guest.

Aldenham Country Park has welcomed a special visitor this Christmas, with the delivery of a reindeer bringing some early festive spirit to the country park.

The reindeer, two-year-old male Orion, took his first steps in the park last week after being delivered by provider Ventura Wildlife - and will be joined by two female companions this week.

Children and families will be able to see Santa’s reindeer, along with visiting the Christmas grotto, until 1pm on Wednesday, December 24.
