The garden will be celebrating the season with our annual Winter Fair on Saturday 10th December so make sure the date is in your diaries. The Winter Fair is a community event for local people.

All the seasonal attractions will be there: St Nicholas handing out presents to children from his grotto in the woodland; live music from local groups; mulled wine and mince pies; wreath making, crafts stalls and preserves; children’s games and tombola. Not forgetting the usual favourites: wood fired pizza; home made cakes and hot chocolate. Plus the popular tree decoration competition, to be judged by our surprise guest!

Entry to the garden and a visit to St Nicholas is free. So spread the word among family and friends, particularly those with young children.

The tree decoration competition will take place again this year so encourage friends and family to get creative.

Prizes will be awarded in three categories:
Under 14s
Adults and over 14s
Visitors’ Vote

• Make an ornament that can hang on a tree out of doors – the more eye-catching the better (KHWG & TGC are holding a crafting afternoon which you migfht like to attend)
• Complete an Tree Decorating competition entry form and bring it with your ornament to the garden on the day
• Hang your ornament on the tree – soak up the exclamations of admiration from the visitors
