Just few photos of our wonderful grotto event yesterday, 197 children visited Santa and his real reindeer, recieved specially selected gifts, did Christmas crafts, made reindeer food, toasted marshmallows, chased the naughty Grinch, enjoyed hot sausage rolls and took Christingle kits and selection boxes home and generally had a fabulous time. We wish you all a magical, safe, and happy Christmas, see you all in the new year. We have to thank so many people and organisations for making the event possible, without local support it would not happen,![]()
