On Wednesday morning the Junior Holiday Club enjoyed a trip to Longdown Activity Farm to visit Father Christmas.

As they waited in line to see Santa they enjoyed the Christmas barn; a magical experience full of activities, seasonal crafts and decorations. The children also got to meet their favourite farm animals including pigs, geese, goats and a naughty donkey who had eaten the Christmas lights. As they entered the courtyard of Santa’s Grotto they were able to hold beautiful golden chicks, which was one of the highlights of the morning.

As the children spotted Santa’s tractor sleigh parked outside the Farmhouse, they were extremely excited to enter his grotto. As each group entered, Father Christmas asked them what they wanted for Christmas and gave them each a present and a bag of sweets to take home.
