Kickstart the festive season with a day of yuletide fun at Shaftesbury Millie College.
The college is opening its grounds to the public on 6 December for its festive event which has something for everyone.
Wrap up and enjoy a winter walk around the 350-acre nature reserve, before stopping at Faith’s Kitchen pop-up café to warm up with a hot drink, seasonal treats or marshmallows toasted over a firepit.
Meet some of the college’s rescue animals, including the chickens, pygmy goats and donkeys, or take a stroll through the gardens to learn more about the site development over the past two years.
Get creative with festive-themed craft activities, and as day turns to night, immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the nature reserve on a guided walk.
In need of inspiration for your Christmas shopping? There will also be a small selection of gift stalls where you will be able to find stocking fillers and unique gifts.
