Following the success of Winter Wonderland over the last three years, and pulling together feedback from members of the community, the events team have been looking at ways to make our winter events more inclusive to the whole community.  We have proposed a month-long Community Winter Festival with a range of events run by community groups, with support from the Trust’s events team on advertising/ marketing and funding. 

This is where you come in!  Would you like to take on the community Christmas Party?  Can you galvanise a community Carol concert?  Can you help organise a Community Christmas lunch?  All of these things have been part of the festive calendar before and we would love to see them form part of the Community Winter Festival! If you have other ideas or suggestions of how you would like to be part of this festival, we would love to hear them. We would like to kick start the festival on Saturday the 7th of December with a Community Christmas Market and Light Switch on at the Wildside Centre. 

Please find a form below for you or your group to complete and share your ideas for your proposed activity or event with us.  We will arrange an informal get together with those interested to discuss how to take these ideas forward. We would like your responses by Friday 27th of September. 

If you have any questions or require further information please contact Jillian at communications@sfctrust.org.uk.
