Christmas Crackers in Crow Lane

This annual community event was held on Monday 15th December in Crow Lane. Christmas music was played from mid afternoon by a Roadshow ensconced under a gazebo lavishly decorated with lights, tinsel and baubles etc (all thanks to John Lewis).

An amazing snowman handed out Glo Sticks to the children while Henbury Primary schools choir sang carols accompanied by the Henbury School band.
At 4.30pm Santa arrived with his elves, to sit in his ‘grotto’ surrounded by fairy lights, and hand out presents to all the youngsters amid a very realistic snowstorm. The atmosphere was wonderful as everyone entered into the spirit of the festive season.

Thank you to all who helped to make the event such a success, especially the Co-op in Crow Lane who generously allowed us to use their electricity and facilities and donated chocolate for the children.
