Wood Street Winter Wonderland on Friday 29th November will include a tree switch on, a singing choir, Santa’s grotto, and mulled wine
Wood Street will light up for Christmas next Friday (29th November) as a Winter Wonderland event comes to Troubridge Square, outside the library.
The free to attend event, organised by Countryside Homes with the support of Waltham Forest Council, will see Our Lady and St George’s Primary Choir perform before the Christmas tree lights switch-on at 5 pm. Local suppliers will be providing a selection of tasty treats, including mulled wine to ward off the winter chill.
Family focused entertainment at Wood Street Wonderland will include seasonal games, an inclusive festive sensory space for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), a Christmas decorations workshop and Santa’s grotto.
Stacey Mitchell, group Sales and marketing director at Countryside Homes said: “We are delighted to be bringing festive joy to the local community in partnership with Waltham Forest Council. The diverse and inclusive nature of the Wood Street Wonderland event will support all those who attend to get into the Christmas spirit. Working with local communities is at the core of the Countryside team’s approach, so we are thrilled to be putting this value into practice by delivering a sprinkling of festive fun in Walthamstow.”
Cllr Vicky Ashworth, cabinet member for stronger communities said:”I am thrilled that the local community are able to come together to enjoy this magical festive event in Wood Street.
‘’It’s heartwarming to know that families can create cherished memories this season without having to worry or stress about the cost and financial strain. We know that residents appreciate free events that they can access on their doorsteps, especially during the difficult times we are facing.”
