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.
