Join us for an evening of festive fun and entertainment as we kick off the Christmas season with our much-loved annual event—The Christmas Cracker! This year, more than ever, we are committed to providing a free or low-cost family event, especially as many face financial challenges in 2024.
What’s in Store?
-Meet Santa: The first 100 children will receive a free gift from Santa in his grotto. Our gifts are most suitable for children under 7, but can add to the ‘library’ of any child this Christmas time.
-Living Christmas Tree: For the first time, our new living Christmas Tree will be beautifully adorned, and festivities will spill out into the grounds of the GSCC.
-Outdoor Fun: Enjoy stalls, games, and small kids’ fairground rides. Local crafters and businesses will showcase unique Christmas gifts, while community groups raise funds for local charities.
-Delicious Food: Indulge in mouth-watering hot food from Revving Chef BBQ and Al’s Munch or explore a variety of savoury and sweet treat stalls
