I just wanted to thank all involved for a lovely experience on the Swingbridge Santa Special today. You made it fun and exciting for the children and the adults. and the frosted surroundings made it a memorable outing. Santa and the elves kept us entertained, the hot chocolate and mulled wine were just what we needed. Five stars!

Tickets are now on sale for the celebrated Swingbridge Santa! Each child will receive refreshments and an age appropriate gift, while adults can enjoy mince pies and a glass of mulled wine on the way. Running on weekends throughout December and in the holidays, tickets are £12.75 each or £46 for a family of four.

All profits raised will support our work enabling local people affected by low skills, poor educational achievement, limited opportunities, and tough financial circumstances.
