Father Christmas will be arriving in style this year on horse and carriage accompanied by Christ’s Hospital School band and ‘Dame Trot’ (Michael Neilson) who you can see appearing in Jack and the Beanstalk at The Capitol, Horsham.
Father Christmas will be in his grotto in Beeson House for all Southwater children to come and visit, please be aware that the grotto is normally very busy so queues are likely. Situated within the main car park of Lintot Square will be our main stage kindly sponsored by COCO’S Style of Southwater. The day will be compered by Paul Leyshon who appeared as Ollie Benson in popular TV series Hollyoaks as well as a number of Childrens TV shows. On the main stage you will see demonstrations from local groups including Zumba, Phoenix Health and Body Centre, and live music from last years Horsham Battle of the Bands (Acoustic) winners The Collector. There will be market stalls, children’s fun fair, magic shows, arts and crafts, face painting, fun and games and much more for the whole family. Also this year will see the introduction of Set4Success who will be providing information on their work to fund young people in the District to reach their sporting potential in their chosen discipline.
To end the event there will be a candlelit procession by local schools into Lintot Square where Father Christmas and guests will turn on the Southwater Christmas lights with carol singing round the Christmas tree accompanied by Horsham Youth Concert Band and led by Southwater Community Methodist Church and Church of the Holy Innocents.
