A very, very important customer popped into Steve’s Old School Barbers on St Petersgate ahead of his busiest night of the year!

Ahead of a month packed with making, wrapping, letter writing and route planning, last Friday evening Santa Claus rode into Stockport for a final beard trim. Leaving his reindeer at home at the North Pole, Santa (also known to many thousands of children as Father Christmas), used his magical powers to pedal his bicycle through the sky!

This was an opportunity not to be missed! Along we went to capture the moment and to put our gift requests in good time for the Christmas rush!

A big thank you to barber Steve Dockney and to Father Christmas for allowing us to share the moment.
