Festive fun on offer at Wixams Wonderland features sponsorship from master developer
A magician, stilt walker, juggler and climbing wall will be among the festive fun on offer at this year’s Wixams Wonderland thanks to sponsorship from master developer, Urban&Civic.
The annual event returns to Wixams on Saturday, 29th November, bringing plenty of festive cheer including Santa Claus himself, entertainment, arts and crafts, and festive food and drink.
This year Urban&Civic, the master developer behind the Wixams community, is adding to the fun, providing sponsorship worth £1,900 which will go towards a magician, juggler, stilt walker and a climbing wall.
Jordan Payne, communications and partnerships manager for Urban&Civic, said: “Events like Wixams Wonderland are so important in bringing together the community and it is a huge credit to the organisers, Nathan and his team for pulling this together. It’s a privilege that we can play a small part in supporting the activities and hope all can go and enjoy some festive fun and magic.”
Wixams Wonderland is a popular community event and regularly attracts up to 7,000 people throughout the day. Starting at 12pm on Saturday 29th November, it offers fun for all ages culminating in the Christmas lights switch-on between 5pm and 6pm.
Families can meet Santa at the Village Hall (tickets are available at wixamsevents.uk) and the main Christmas tree will be decorated by local schoolchildren. The village hall will also host 30 craft stalls offering a selection of Christmas gifts, and outside there will be plenty of activities and entertainment including fun fair rides, a dance group, as well as the magician and stilt walker. Festive food and drink will include mince pies and mulled wine as well as traditional German sausages, plus Thai food, a pizza van, waffles, a licensed bar and more. There may even be a visit from the Grinch, and possibly some snow…
Nathan Sutters, Wixams Events organiser, said: “Wixams Wonderland is a hugely popular event and we’re always looking for ways to ensure it’s better than ever. We get great support from the community, and we’re grateful that Urban&Civic have come on board to sponsor several elements of our 2025 event to ensure it’s another great community occasion.”
