A traditional fairground ride will spread Christmas cheer when it arrives at a vintage amusement park this weekend.

Visitors to Dreamland will have a treat as the Frosted Fairground opens on Saturday.

The Waltzer, which has been a feature of theme parks around the country for more than 100 years, will join the park's other 21 rides.

The Frosted Fairground will open at weekends and during the school holidays from Saturday, December 3 until Monday, January 2.

Father Christmas will also be putting in an appearance, a visit to his grotto will cost £9.95 per child or £8.95 for members.

His elves are preparing free activities for guests in the lead up to the festive season.

The Austin Cars ride will also return after a year-long restoration project.

But the park's centrepiece attraction, the Scenic Railway, is still out of action.

An update on its website says that a replacement rope is due to arrive in December.
