Christmas
Christmas 2021
Christmas is coming to Pontprennau!
Whilst Santa rides his sleigh on Sunday, there will also be festive fun in the school grounds.
There will be warming drinks and food (as well as candyfloss!) to keep you going as you explore our mini fairground. Which ride will you go on first?!
Most of these activities will require cash so raid your money boxes and come on up anytime from 4.30pm to 7pm this Sunday 28th November. All welcome! No booking required.
(Although please remember to wear a mask on school grounds)
We may even have a bit of Brass Band music to really get us in the mood for mulled wine and hot chocolate...🎺📯
Heeee'sssss checking it once, he's checking it twice, he's going to find out who's naughty and nice....
You guessed it Pontprennau!!!
🎅Santa Claus is coming to town!!!
🎄Here you'll see a beautifully crafted map by one of the FoPPS elves showing the route which Santa will be following. We are really hoping to have a live tracker too... (a work in progress!) This and any other updates will be on our Facebook page.
Rough timings and the route are at the end of this post.
DONATIONS
🧝🧝♂️Our friendly elves will be helping to guide Santa and will have donation buckets. We have also set up an online donation option for those that prefer to do it this way:
DETAILS
The fair will start at the school Sunday 28th November at 4:30pm and run until 7pm. There will be some fairground rides, music (including a brass band to kick us off and warm us up until 515pm!) and festive snacks and refreshments available! Please bring cash!!! We're working on card payments for future events 🤞🏼
VOLUNTEERS
We still really need some volunteers who can give us some of their time to help sell drinks and snacks at the school. Even an hour would help massively.
