Children’s Christmas Party

To bring joy and friendship to the Crosspool community, today the Crosspool Forum hosted their annual Children’s Christmas Party at St Columba’s Church. A magical festive afternoon of fun, music and refreshments for the children and their families.

The highlight of the party was the magical and entertaining performance by Barney Baloney and Henry the Cheeky Monkey.
Barney Baloney, a talented magician and entertainer, had the children and their families captivated with his incredible magic tricks and illusions.
The children were in awe as Barney performed his tricks, making objects disappear and reappear before their very eyes. Henry’s antics added an element of surprise and delight to the show, as he caused chaos and mayhem. Delighted by Henry’s antics, their laughter and smiles filled the room with joy and laughter.
Thoroughly enjoying the entertainment and the chance to celebrate the Christmas season together, the parents and guardians were delighted to see their little ones having such a wonderful time.

The Crosspool Forum had worked tirelessly to organize the party, ensuring that every detail was taken care of to make the afternoon special for the children. From the entertainment, the amazing raffle prizes and Christmas gifts, to the delicious refreshments, every aspect of the event was designed for fun and laughter.  

As the party drew to a close, the sense of community and friendship was palpable. The children and their families, who had come together to celebrate the Christmas season with a traditional Children’s Christmas Party, left with beaming smiles and clutching Christmas gifts from Father Christmas and memories that would last a lifetime.
