Most Santas skating in a Conga Line-Warwick
Castle sets world record
WARWICK CASTLE, UK -- To celebrate the opening
of the UK’s first real ice trail at the Warwick
Castle, 142 skating Santas set the new world record
for the Most
Santas skating in a Conga Line.
The Santas were members of the public who donned
the red suits to add some Christmas sparkle to the event in
the castle’s Peacock Garden. (enlarge

They broke the previous Guinness world record
on their third attempt—an earlier one failed when an excited
young Santa waved to the watching crowd and another when a
skinny Santa’s trousers fell down.
The castle forms a dramatic backdrop to
the new 250m track through Peacock Garden, which is adorned
with lights. There's also a Victorian steam fair
with Noah's Ark ride and a carousel, carol singers and festive
storytelling.
