Delighted to let you know that although difficult times, Santa has agreed to tour our village again this Christmas Eve. He has asked, so that you are aware for your and the children's safety things will be different to previous years. The sleigh will not stop on route but drive slowly round the village so that he can wave at the children (and parents) who will be hopefully be out to wave back (small bags of sweets will be handed out). The route will be the same as previous years but starting at 6.00 p.m. from Sun Rise, Compton Road, the Pond, Hildesley Court, Church Hill, Church Side, High Street, Old Stanmore Road, High Street, Crown & Horns, The Swan, Abingdon Road, Farriers Lane, Sheepdown and should finish about 6.45 p.m. Regrettably there will not be a house to house collection for The Air Ambulance however, we have set up this Just-Giving web page should you wish to donate to the Thames Valley Air Ambulance or collection boxes in both The Crown & Horns and Swan. Please be generous to this essential service that many downland villages rely on.
