Wimborne Community Garden – Help Forgetful Santa!

Help forgetful Santa find his lost items!

Christmas is coming…and we have discovered at Wimborne Community Garden that Santa has a problem! It seems that he’s forgotten all sorts of things that are essential to him this Christmas such as his hat, his belt, a bridle for Rudolph and many more items!

The good thing is 12 wonderful shops in Wimborne have found an item each and they are to be found displayed in their shop window. If you would like to help Santa, you can buy a £1 entry form from either Wimborne or Colehill Library, the Museum or Optique 2000 and then go on a search round the town to identify which shop has which item for poor old Forgetful Santa. Once you’ve filled in your form, return it to the Libraries, Museum or Optique 2000 and the two winning entries will be visited by Santa himself on December 21st as he delivers their well-earned prize.

Visit Santa’s Grotto at Wimborne Community Garden.

Fortunately, it seems Santa has some spare clothes as in the meantime, he is coming to a magical grotto in Wimborne Community Garden on December 6th, 13th, 18th and 20th. He will be sitting next to his cosy fire in his grotto, which children can get to by wandering through a Christmas lit tunnel through the garden.

Santa has a little story he wants to share with the children before giving them each a gift to take home; meanwhile parents and grandparents and friends can enjoy mulled wine and mince pies round the fire pit.

To book your child’s £10 ticket for this Christmas experience, please phone 07851 402207 (evenings) – there is no charge for accompanying adults. On each day Santa is going to share his story at 3.45pm, 4.30pm and 5.15pm. We hope you can join us – and really enjoy soaking up the Christmas spirit under the stars.

Kindly sponsored by Wimborne Minster Council – all profits raised will go to Wimborne Community Garden.

Join us for Christmas Carols in the Garden.

Wrapping up warm is going to be important, especially on December 18th when we will be sharing Christmas carols in the garden at 6.00. As last year we will be wonderfully accompanied by the small steel drum band The Purple Parrots as we all enjoy together a festive community sing song. No wonder we all love Christmas!
