Northamptonshire-based housing association, Greatwell Homes, and Hatton Rotary kept families entertained for hours delivering some festive cheer on the Wellingborough estate.
On December 12, a free event was held at the Kingsway Centre for local residents to take part in festive activities, indulge in delicious treats and beverages and meet Santa Claus himself.
The events were led by Made With Many which included colouring and making clay sculptures and Christmas tree decorations. The children could also have their faces painted by local face painter, Brushed Beauties Face Paint Co., and received a goodie bag.
During their journey around the Kingsway estate, the Hatton Rotary and Santa Claus made a couple of visits to the Kingsway Centre to say hello to the families attending the event.
Cara Evans attended the event with her two daughters. She said: “We watched Santa in his sleigh and my girls loved seeing Elsa as well. There was lots to do in the Kingsway Centre for all ages and it kept them entertained for hours.
“The face painter was amazing and they loved decorating their own baubles. We would definitely go again.”

“This was the first time we have done an event like this on the Kingsway and we’re so glad to see around 100 people from the estate attending. I’d like to thank Hatton Rotary and Made With Many who helped bring this event together and created some special festive cheer to the estate.”
