SANTA’S little helpers had the most fun they’ve had in donkey’s years.

The Oxford Nursery, which has branches in Eynsham, Summertown, Littlemore and Sandford, hosted a Donkeys For Sale event on Wednesday. Elves from Farms2Ewe brought a donkey, pygmy goats and bottle-fed lambs to collect the children’s letters for Father Christmas.

Dexter Grey, four, said: “I asked Father Christmas for a light sabre and lots of dinosaurs.”
