School Fayres and Parties

Most schools will have a fayre this Christmas. Why is it important for us to visit? This is a huge fundraising opportunity, and at a time of budget cuts, our support is crucial. There will be lovely stalls, fun activities, and even the chance to see Santa.

London at Christmas

How lucky are we that we are just minutes away from Central London, one the best cities in the World? Family favourites include Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park, Winterville on Clapham Common, The Christmas Lights on Regents Street, Harrods, and Hamleys. There are some fantastic shows such as The Snowman, A Christmas Carol and Dick Whittington to book too.

Christmas Markets

Walking around a Christmas market with the family, is something everyone can enjoy. With Christmas Music in the background, beautiful stalls, unique gifts, and Christmas Food and of course some Mulled Wine or Cider, can put a smile on everyone’s face. Lee Valley Christmas Market is a good family pick.

Meeting Santa

Book Christmas Grotto early, the queues can be crazy. Many popular ones maybe full already so be organised. We are lucky to have one of the best, Christmas Wonderland at Springtime Nurseries of Crews Hill, on our doorstep. Pearsons, Van Hage and Santa Spectacular at Willows Farm are brilliant too. For a more personal experience, why not try breakfast of dinner with Santa. Wyevale Garden Centre and The Harvester are taking bookings.
