A fundraising children’s Christmas party is coming to Goathill Quarry this weekend.

The event is being hosted by Crossgates Events Committee and will see roughly 400 people enjoy some festive fun.

The party, which is being held at Goathill Quarry, will feature a magician, bouncy castles, a DJ, a much more!

There will be banquet tables and plenty of food available to purchase including burgers, hot dogs, and macaroni. Santa will also be giving out selection boxes to the youngsters.

Chris Whyte, of Crossgates Events Committee, said: “It’s a big event, last year we never really told anybody, it was just for the community.

“Although we are selling the tickets, the money goes back into the community for the community, and the gala in the summertime.

“It’s a lot of work for us all but it’s a big event and it’s massive.

“It’s a three-hour event from 2 o’clock to 5 o’clock in the region of 400 people from Crossgates coming in from that.”

Tickets for children cost £5 each while they are £2.50 each for adults. These can be purchased from the Crossgates Events Facebook page.

Chris added: “It’s all going back into the community and the summer gala and making it free so nobody has to pay for the gala.”

The gala committee are also looking for new people to join, or just to help out with events when they can, and would like to hear from anyone who is interested in getting involved.

The party will take place at Goathill Quarry on Saturday, December 7.
