Families are invited to join us for an afternoon of cosy stories, simple activities, and a well-earned hot chocolate. We’ll also have a very special visitor… Father Christmas himself will be popping in to share a story with everyone. It’s all happening on Thursday 11 December at 2:30pm in the hall. We’d love to see you there and start the season with a bit of warmth and cheer.
