Christmas begins at Ilam Park

Posted on Tuesday, 06 December 2011 11:19AM by Judy and the Peak District Online team

A WEEKEND of festivities will begin next weekend at a National Trust tourist hotspot.

Produce and crafts from across the Dales and Moorlands will be on sale at Ilam Park from Saturday, December 10 from 11am until 4.30pm, repeating on Sunday, December 11.

The event will feature children's games and Christmas craft activities, with festive face-painting and a warming cup of free mulled wine for the grown ups.

Santa is expected to join the fun at about 2pm on both days and proceeds from the sale of Christmas trees will go towards conservation work in the Peak District.
