LONDON, ENGLAND, November 22, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Father Christmas is calling into London before he gets too busy this festive season. Over the weekend of 8 and 9 December, Father Christmas along with his huskies will come to London Wetland Centre with a sleigh full of goodies for children under eight.
As part of Winter Wonderland Weekend there will be free husky sleigh rides and photo opportunities with the cuddly, furry friends. A Santa's Grotto set amidst Christmassy fir and pine trees will host Father Christmas and Merlin the Magician who together will hand out presents and plenty of Christmas cheer. Don't forget the arts and crafts session that will be on offer throughout the weekend. Old-fashioned chocolate and sweet tastings should help keep children of all ages amused.
Grown ups won't feel left out either. Wine tasting sessions will be available throughout the course of this two-day event and mulled wine and other Christmas treats such as mince pies and Christmas cake will be available at the Water's Edge Cafe.
The 105-acre Wetland Centre will be the perfect setting. Scenic walkways, lakes, meadows, ponds and forests make up this stunning wildlife haven in Barnes.
