Santa’s Grotto first day fun! Still more to come!

Santa’s Grotto first day fun! Still more to come!

The first afternoon at Santa’s Grotto by the pier was an amazing success.  Said Friends of Bangor Garth Pier Chair Avril Wayte “What an amazing afternoon, full of Christmas cheer. Santa and his elves were on fine form. We had 47 children plus their parents visiting today.” In addition, some of the places were sponsored to enable children and families who might not otherwise be able to afford to see Santa to enjoy a visit to the grotto. “We are very grateful to Bangor Saints Football Club and Bangor Cathedral for sponsoring another 17 places on top of yesterday’s sponsors. What an amazing community we have in Bangor!! DIOLCH THANK YOU!” added Avril. Santa’s Grotto will be open on the weekends leading up to Christmas on 14th & 15th December and the 21stand 22nd December. To book a slot visit the Entrance Kiosk or check out our FBGP Facebook group page.

Santa’s Grotto in the Pier Master’s House proved more popular than ever. Over the first three weekends in December over 400 children visited Santa with their families. We were delighted this year that due to the generous sponsorship received from local community groups and individuals we...

That's such a shame. You've had to cancel a few events this year due to the weather. It's ironic the weather deteriorates when you've got an event planned. It's not as though you can rearrange it 😔
