Santa Specials 2015 proved to be a very successful year with a record attendance of over 1300 over the 5 days operated (6/13/19/20 and 23 December). Both regular and new faces joined in the festive fun, aided by reasonable (and unseasonably warm) weather. We were also delighted to provide facilities to Julias House, a Childrens Hospice on one day.

A selection of photos from the season follows.






Great comments left in Visitors Book - and thank you to all our fantastic guests - we loved it too!
