The annual Christmas party for the children is being held this Saturday from 11am to 2pm at Winterthur Way, Basingstoke.

The children will be entertained by children’s entertainer Squirty Wirty who is a member of The Magic Circle and The Punch and Judy Fellowship. There will be face paint artists, a disco and party food.

Father Christmas will make a special visit for 3 to 5 year olds at 12.30pm and 6 to 9 year olds at 1.15pm.

Jacqui Self, Head of HR Business Partnering, Winterthur, and event organiser said,

This is one of my favourite Winterthur traditions. The children love it and all the parents appear to do so too. This year there will be the largest influx of three year olds we have ever had and I believe their excitement will be felt across Basingstoke.
