Preparations are under way in the Colin area of West Belfast as Colin Neighbourhood Partnership puts the finishing touches to their free festive family event being held on Thursday, December 12.
Families will enjoy a seasonal treat when Santa arrives to Colin Town Square on Thursday 12th December at 6.30 pm.
In a West Belfast twist, Santa will swap his sleigh for the Glider, which he'll use to arrive at the Colin Christmas tree to switch on the lights.
Children and parents will have an opportunity to get their photo taken with Santa in the rapid transport HUB and receive a small gift.
Revellers will also enjoy live music and Christmas carols by local school children from Scoil na Fuiseoige and Crescendo, Colin's community choir.
The event will also feature everything from Bungee Trampolines, Racing Reindeers, Rodeo Bull, Bumper Cars Spinners, Mini Golf, Last One Standing and Paw Patrol Toddler Play.
There will also be festive arts and crafts where youngsters are able to make colourful Christmas decorations, yule logs, crafts, wreaths and Christmas gifts. Families can also capture some special festive memories in a free photo booth.
Speaking about the event, John Paul Russell of Colin Neighbourhood Partnership commented: “We are delighted to be hosting our Christmas event again this year in Colin Town Square. This free event promises a host of festive fun and treats which all the family can enjoy.”
This event is funded by the Department for Communities and the Urban Villages Initiative.
