The children really enjoyed the show and there was lots of fun interaction with Pinocchio, Mister Geppetto and his enormous cat.
[pb_blockquote] Will we do it again? Oh yes we will! [/pb_blockquote]
Whilst eating, the children thought they heard the tinkling of sleigh-bells but none of the grown-ups had heard them. The children were insistent however and a little later they thought they heard them again…then to our surprise Father Christmas arrived! (We honestly thought we had excelled ourselves with our visit from Strictly Come Dancing’s Anton du Beke but this was even better!)
[pb_blockquote] Father Christmas was in good spirits – despite his heavy workload – and spent lots of time chatting to the children and passing out the Christmas gifts he had brought with him. [/pb_blockquote]
[pb_blockquote]The children performed their interpretation of The Night Before Christmas beautifully on stage – and we certainly had some fab ‘far-out’ sugar plum fairies in our midst! [/pb_blockquote]
It was lovely that so many parents were able to join us to celebrate with the children. A special thank you goes out to Henry and Albert’s mummy, Louise, for her super sales skills at our Eco bag and tea-towel stall and also to Paul Warren at Mange Bien for his tasty canapés and delicious mulled wine.
