Green Santa and Lights

The Craft Centre was really bright last night as visitors watched the start of the Jinney Ring Christmas!

Worcestershire’s Green Santa, whose mission is to encourage people to think local and make Christmas a more sustainable celebration, teamed up to with Rachel Johnston one of our regular customers to switch on the centre’s Christmas lights. Rachel rang the bell to start a wave of lights which ran round the front of the centre, it now looks really pretty. All of the craft units have decorated their own trees outside their units -- many have decorations relating to their crafts.

Rachel decorated her chair for the occasion and enjoyed the evening

After the lights were put on Santa went shopping and had a good look around the craft units meeting Soap Maker (Jorg) and having a good look at the blown glass in Topglass.

We managed to get a peak at the activities from the garden but most of the visitors were soon shopping and visiting the restaurant whilst listen to Christmas tunes from accordion player Helen O'Donnell from Droitwich.
There was a lovely smell too -- the mulled wine was chef's first batch of the year and it certainly smelt nice alongside the roasted chestnuts cooking in the BBQ.

The lights are now on every evening from dusk until close.
