Ilam Park's Christmas Festival 2013



The perfect ingredients for festive family fun at Ilam Park have been discovered.

  • 71 wooden reindeers made
  • 208 giant marshmallows eaten
  • 26 fat balls made
  • 94 visits to Santa
  • 46 biscuits iced and decorated

On Sunday 8th December the Christmas Festival at Ilam Park attracted lots of families looking for festive fun in the great outdoors. School children from Ilam CofE Primary School sang carols in the stableyard, whilst Jane the chef offered a great winter BBQ to visitors. Coppiced wood from the White Peak estate provided body parts for the wooden reindeer making which kept our staff and volunteers busy for the 6 hour event! Inside the Manifold Tearoom, freshly made biscuits were decorated by children, with icing and lots of sweets – soon to be eaten by their makers. At the fire, children and parents warmed their hands and toasted giant marshmallows, under the supervision of volunteer Steve Maynard.

We don’t want to wish the year away, but we are looking forward to repeating it all in a years time!
