Special Children’s Christmas Party
The party will start at 11 am on Saturday December 12th and go for three and a half fun-filled hours during which the children will be treated to a star-studded stage show featuring many local and national artists.
A popular local band will keep the music going as the children enjoy the stage programme and the many other activities such as rides, face painting, merry-go-rounds, jumping castles and much more. There will be the opportunity for the children to meet our very special celebrities and guest artist too! With all this fun to be had, the children will need all the hot-dogs, chippies, drinks, fruit , lollies, sandwiches and ice-creams that we can provide.
Father Christmas will arrive in a spectacular fashion even though Rudolph and the boys have the day off. After greeting the children from the stage, Santa will meet all the children individually in the Santa’s HUGE Cave as they come to collect 3 or 4 of their very own high quality Christmas presents.
