THE Royal Welsh Winter Fair is just around the corner and there is plenty taking place for families to look forward to.

The annual event takes place later this month, from November 28-29, and Santa Claus has kindly agreed to take time out from his busy winter schedule to meet the children attending the event, and this year he is bringing some extra special reindeer guests.

Santa’s Grotto will be located in the clock tower, Tŷ Ynys Môn, near the bandstand, on both days of the event. Santa Claus will be available between 2.30-3.30pm and 4.30-6pm on Monday, November 28, and between 11am-12.30pm and 2-3.30pm on Tuesday, November 29.

This year, we are very lucky to also welcome two of Santa’s hard-working reindeers to the Winter Fair. The reindeer are flying in especially from the North Pole for Monday only (November 28) and attendees will be able to meet and greet them from 2-6pm in the forestry small action ring (next to the bandstand).

Another main attraction this year is our fantastic fireworks display. The spectacular fireworks are a firm favourite with Winter Fair guests, adults and children alike. You can catch the display at 7pm on Monday.

As usual, the Food Hall will be packed full of delicious delights from traders across Wales and beyond for you and your little ones to sample and enjoy. And maybe even a festive tipple for the grown-ups.

School and college trips are welcomed and encouraged to visit. Sharing knowledge about the agricultural industry and how food is produced is vital and an initiative the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society continues to support. If your school or college is interested in coming to the Winter Fair, contact the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society to organise your trip; email requests@rwas.co.uk or call the office on 01982 553683.

Why not add a bit of magic to your experience of the Royal Welsh Winter Fair and come along to meet Santa Claus and his reindeer, watch the fantastic firework display and enjoy some tasty treats.
