As Halloween’s witching hour ticked by did your avid trick or treaters wake up instantly transformed from creatures of the night into overly-enthusiastic apprentice elves?
Whilst some might be momentarily distracted by the promise of a few flashy fireworks many will already be anxious to start opening Advent doors even though there’s a month to go until the start of the official countdown to the big day.
If finding out what’s on your mini ones’ not so mini Christmas wish lists in time for you to possibly be able to fulfill it on behalf of the man in red then get them booked in early for a special seasonal experience and be prepared to take notes surreptitiously.
The list below predominantly includes grottos but if quantity is what your child is after, or the chance to don the beard themselves, then don’t forget there’ll be a sea of red and white at the county’s Santa Fun Run and Walks including Belvoir Castle (December 1), Wyndham Park in Grantham (December 1), Lincoln (December 15) and Cleethorpes Santa Stride (December 15).
As always, live events can be subject to last minute changes and selling out so be sure to check booking details before you travel and before making any promises to little believers (second edit for Bransby Horses – the equine welfare chairty near Lincoln has been severely affected by flooding and has now had to cancel all its seasonal events unfortunately – it is still asking people to please still visit its gift shop and cafe though, find out more here).
If you know of one we’ve missed, then please email hello@theminimalpi.co.uk with the link and I’ll be happy to add it or let us know where you’d recommend in the comments below.
