Winter Wonderland for Stratherrick and Foyers 'bigger and better than ever'
Winter Wonderland returns to Stratherrick and Foyers, 'bigger and better than ever'. The Winter Wonderland event taking place at the Wildside Centre in White bridge, from December 9.
The inflatable snow globe which is over two metres in height and is just one of the new and improved elements in the third annual Winter Wonderland celebration at The Wildside Centre in Whitebridge.
A Troupe of Elves are all set to appear at Stratherrick’s Winter Wonderland event next week, and excitement is building at Whitebridge, Gorthleck and Foyers ahead of the arrival of the first giant snow globe in Stratherrick.
The local primary schools and the Monadhliath singers will be joining in with some carol singing.
Caroline Tucker, who organises the event said:"This year it’s bigger and better than ever! Alongside the festive light show and inflatables outside the building, our newest attraction is the giant snow globe. You can come along and have your photo taken beside it with our troupe of elves."
There are more elves than ever before too, so there will be no shortage of fun. There will be something for all the family, with mulled wine, mince pies and other festive bakes provided by local community groups and a Christmas Market, showcasing a wide range of local crafts – a perfect opportunity for folk to shop local this Christmas and buy some unique gifts.
Jillian Barclay, involved in running the event said:"For the first time this year we have a Kids’ Corner, where the children can do some festive crafting and even get their faces painted while the adults enjoy a wander around the market or a warming hot chocolate."
Catriona Fraser, vice chair of Stratherrick and Foyers Community Trust said:"Our Winter Wonderland is an opportunity for people from Foyers and Stratherrick to meet up, and for former residents now in Inverness to visit and revive friendships too."
The Winter Wonderland event runs from 4pm – 8pm on Friday the 9th and Saturday 10th December.
Admission and parking are free and the event runs for two evenings this year.
