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!
