Centre Manager Claire Pitt said, “Children love visiting Santa on a pony – it’s special, unique, and very, very popular, so early booking is advised.” 

Santa Special pony rides will cost £10.00 each or £19 for two, and include a Christmas rosette and gift.  Contact the Unicorn Centre to book a place.

The Centre’s annual Christmas Fair will take place on Thursday 8 December at the Unicorn Centre, Stainton Way, Hemlington, from 5pm to 8pm.

There will be a large range of local stalls, free Christmas crafts for the children, as well as the Unicorn Centre’s own gift stall, raffle and tombola, and mulled wine and mince pies to get everyone in the Christmas spirit. Limited pony rides will also be on offer between 5.15pm and 6.30pm.  Again booking is advised.

Rosewood Academy School choir will again be singing carols around the Christmas tree at the Fair.

Entry to the Christmas Fair is free.  Potential stallholders should contact the Unicorn Centre for more details.

The Centre is also inviting sealed bids for two Horrible History books, signed by local author Terry Deary.  Bids should be sent to the Centre by 16 December and the proceeds of the auction and the Christmas events will all go to the Unicorn Centre.
