Winter Wonderland, Scott Park Visit to Santa

We took a trip to Scott Park in Burnley to see Santa and spend some time playing with friends.

Our day got off to a flying start, pun totally intended, as we started with some free fairground rides. These included Little Miss’s favourite, the chair swings.

Then we followed a trail around the park. The children spotted letters pinned up along the route. They noted down each letter and spelled out a phrase.

At the end of the trail we were led into Santa’s grotto. A cheery Santa left the children with a small gift.

We spent some time at the newly built play park. I was pleased to notice that there is now lots of accessible play equipment. There’s a swing for disabled children, wheelchair accessible roundabout and the sea saw had large chairs on either side, perfect for the little toddlers. Little Dude made a bee line for the excellent music making facilities.

We just had time to squeeze in another few rides before the end of the day.

A Little Bit About Me . . .

Hey there I’m Bridie, a busy mum to two amazing humans, a spirited border collie puppy and a pair of sweet guinea pigs. We homestead in a cherished Edwardian terrace in not so sunny Lancashire, England.

When I’m not spending time with my children and menagerie, I’m usually to be found in my craft room creating and blogging or in the kitchen cooking up a big batch of something tasty. I’m always looking for thrifty hacks to save money on my crafts and recipes. Crafting doesn’t have to cost a fortune!

I’ve included links to my favourite retailers for the products I’ve used to make my crafts. Click on any of the product images and links for full details. If you decide to buy any of these products I may get a small percentage of what you spend. There’s no cost to you at all.
