Nov 29 - Christmas Comes To Ocean Village
Today is the start of the “Magical Christmas” event at Ocean Village in aid of Research into Childhood Cancer - Santa Claus will brave the bad weather!
With rain expected this evening, organisers say that Pizza Express have very kindly offered the use of their venue for the show which will start at 5pm.
At Pizza Express there will be a Christmas & Pop Sing-a-long with Snowflake the Elf, and the arrival of Princess Poppy from Trolls and Sleeping Beauty, and special guest Superman. There will also be choir singing by Prior Park School at 6pm.
A spokesperson said: “From approx 6.15pm we will have a small ceremony where two little competition winners will be crowned Prince and Princess of Ocean Village and from approx 6.30pm Santa Claus will arrive, the Christmas lights will be switched on and the Grotto will start in The Cuban.
“Entry to the Grotto is £5 in aid of RICC. The Grotto will be open for the next three days until Friday. We have had so much interest that we are actually fully booked for all three days, but as always, there may be some cancellations. So if you want, please turn up with your children and/or small relatives on any of the days and we will try and squeeze you in somewhere! Inside the Grotto you can warm yourself with a cup of mulled wine, a hot chocolate and even a mince pie. All proceeds will go to charity.”
