For the fifth time at Ashingdon and East Hawkwell Memorial Hall, a Santa experience. You have met him from the confines of your car and like last year you can meet him again in person in his beautiful Grotto.

Our Santa is DBS checked and has worked with children for many years. Your Child/children will have some time with Santa in our beautifully decorated grotto. You will be shown in by our cheeky Elves, Pixie and Trixie, and your child/children will be able to tell him their hopes and dreams for Christmas.  Photographs can be taken with him to share with your family and friends. 

We are planning on a quieter start to the Santa festivities for some children who would like to meet Santa in a more relaxed way. This will be on Saturday. You may request what you may need like, no flashing lights or sounds, to have Santa meet your child before they enter the grotto, if children have hearing difficulties there will be an elf who signs at level 3 BSL. For any accommodation required we will endeavour to work with you to create an experience for your family to remember. 

We will create a magical experience for you and your children to meet Santa.  We look forward to seeing you again this year!

3 - 10 years. Each child will receive their very own Christmas Gift Bag with an assortment of surprises within.  

£7.50 - (non refundable)

6 - 35months. A wrapped gift
£5 - (non refundable)

• Sort Code : 20-79-73, Account no : 40124400 and include your allocated reference number. 
• The account name is Ashingdon and East Hawkwell Village Hall.

We will send a confirmation of your booking to you with your receipt to your email address

Helf will then send your booking receipt once your payment has cleared our bank.

The doors will open for stallholders at 9am for setup. The carpark is free to park outside the hall. Once you have unloaded if you could move your car to the lower carpark so that the craft fair visitors can have easier access that would be appreciated. 

Please see me upon arrival so that I can show you to your table/s. You will be provided with a table, or two if you have paid extra, two chairs and a cup of tea   

I hope you all have a successful day.

Best Regards 

Helen

This year we added a Santa’s grotto to the Christmas Craft Fair experience. The committee gathered all their christmas trees and decorations together and managed to create the prettiest Grotto you ever did see. It took 6 1/2 hours to create and an hour to take down. 

The Christmas craft fair sold out in record time, 19 hours to be exact from advertisement to final table being sold. Each stall holder was given a table, chair and a voucher for a free tea or coffee. 

Cllr Danielle Belton sponsored us for a huge Sparkly Back Drop from Be Personal Events which coupled with a 9ft Santa, loaned by Little Lodge Garden Centre, created the most spectacular entrance and greeting to our community.

The whole day sparkled along with a steady stream of visitors which we were so happy to see. From Parents, children and the halls’ very own Giggle Patrol.  

Until we balance the books we don’t know yet how much we managed to raise for the hall. Watch this space for news.
