Thousands of people attended Wyndham Park’s Christmas in the Park event to celebrate the festive season.

The free event on December 18 included a bouncy castle, stalls, a tea cup ride, arts and crafts sessions, a Santa’s grotto and a group of elves helping visitors find their way around a Christmas trail.

South Kesteven District Council (SKDC), Wyndham Park Forum and Cafe Indulgence co-ordinated the event and welcomed over 3,500 people over the six hour event.

SKDC’s Business Manager for Venues and Facilities Paul Stokes said: “Our thanks for fantastic support go to those from South Kesteven and further afield who visited the park and event and volunteers who gave up their time to make it a success.

“The HLF and Big Lottery Fund are keen the community is engaged with as part of their projects and we really felt a buzz around the park with families and individuals enjoying some festive fun.”
