We hosted a successful day of Festive Fun at Alyn Waters Country Park this weekend. Caffi Cyfle and the conference centre welcomed visitors to a Christmas Craft and Gift Fair on Sunday December 5th. It was a unique festive shopping experience featuring small local businesses and crafts people. Stalls included handmade wooden Christmas trees and decorative coasters, crocheted items, handmade accessories, candles and more.
The team had also been working closely with the main man himself, who also put in an appearance! Santa left his workshop in the North Pole so he could pop over to see some children in the run up to Christmas, to find out if they had been naughty or nice, and what gifts they would like for Christmas.
A temporary Grotto was set up for Santa at Alyn Waters Country Park where children could visit him and let him know what they wanted for Christmas. The children also got to take away some special reindeer food from Santa to put out on Christmas Eve and each child received a festive hot drink and cookie from Caffi Cyfle.
The afternoon also included a performance from Wrexham’s Choirs for Good who sang carols and other popular songs at the event. Choirs for Good are a social enterprise that puts choirs at the heart of local communities, helping people live more connected fulfilling lives.
Groundwork North Wales received many positive comments from families including from Linda Jones who attended with her family.
“We book numerous Christmas activities and grottos every year and Groundwork North Wales hold some of the best, we think they are better than many of the well-known more expensive activities.
Santa was amazing with both children and adults. The Christmas fair was lovely, the hot drink and cake in the café were just what we needed to warm us up, and the choir were a wonderful finishing touch. We will definitely be attending again next year”.
