So what was the big idea?
There was something for everyone - and all ages are catered for - so it’s an inclusive village event.
It’s a way for us to properly open the doors of Hill House to local residents. We’ve been trying for a while and decided it was time to take the reindeer by the antlers and put something on.
And it was a great way for Darren (the owner) to introduce the house, for local friends and families to have a great time and for us to answer any questions you may have over a mince pie.
On offer in 2023:
Father Christmas and presents (for children up to 12 years old)
Mince pies, teas and coffees, soft drinks, mulled wine
The chocolate waterfall
Pixie burgers and Wenceslas pizzas (deep-pan, crisp and even)
Santa’s shooting range (shoot the Golden Brussels Sprouts!)
Charity stalls and house tours
Singing and entertainment
Games room (free-play arcade, pool, air hockey and table tennis)
Our day was a huge success and over the course of a long day- 200 local Saxlingham residents came by to spend time together on the run up to Christmas.
Our red Land Rover ‘Christmas sleigh’, pick up and drop off service had brilliant take up (lots of people also walked over).
40 children got to meet Father Christmas and everyone enjoyed Kayla’s Pixie burgers and mini-pizzas.
We raised over £300 for charity and the amazing gingerbread house found it’s new home for Christmas!
We’re 100% game on for Winter Wonderland 2024… it was a complete joy!
