This weekend sees the Warley Woods Community Trust Santa in the Woods event, and the Simply Santa afternoon.

The main event is on Sunday when Santa on his sleigh will be joined by a torchlit procession from the drinking fountain near the Abbey Road entrance, through the Woods, and on to his grotto at the Pavilion. When he arrives there will be entertainment, mince pies, roast chestnuts and other refreshments, as well as an opportunity for children to queue up to see Santa. The assembly point at the drinking fountain is 4pm.

For those who can’t make the Sunday or want to avoid a queue, there is a smaller separate event on Saturday between 1pm-4pm at the Pavilion… but this is strictly for those who book in advance. For more details, ring the Trust Office on 429 2440.
