Santa's Workshop to Open Friday at Wickham Park
In the weeks leading up to Christmas day, Wickham Park transforms into Santa's Workshop
Wickham Park has welcomed over 145,000 people to its annual Santa's Workshop since 1981, which will open Friday, Dec. 13, 2013, at 3 p.m.
Santa, Mrs. Claus, and their elves make the log cabin in Wickham Park their home each winter. A visit with Santa, the elves working on toys and Mrs. Claus serving free refreshments make for a pleasant visit.
Set in a log cabin with decorations and music of the season, a fire in the great stone fireplace and a 15 foot Christmas tree provide for a perfect holiday atmosphere.
The workshop runs from Dec. 13 through Dec. 23. Hours during the week are from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. and are from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. on weekends. Admission is free.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Cameras are encouraged and non-perishable food donations are welcome and will be distributed to the local food pantries. For more information, please call 860-528-0856 or visit www.wickhampark.org.
