Christmas 2008

In December 2008 the Museum held a very successful Christmas Grotto. Father Christmas was in his chair by the fireplace waiting to meet his many little friends. They were welcomed to the Grotto by Mrs Christmas, while Rudolph was outside giving out sweets to the queuing children. After visiting Father Christmas the children could also get their face painted.

The Museum, Grotto and Entrance were decorated with beautiful Victorian inspired decorations, and a ye olde bubble machine!

 It was a fantastic night and all the children were delighted with their presents.

A big thank you to all our volunteers who helped to wrap the presents and prepare for the evening, as well as a great big thank you to Peter for being a fantastic Father Christmas and to Sheila for being a super Mrs Christmas.

Finally a huge thank you to all the parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, big sisters/brothers and friends who brought their children along to support us on the night.
