Lund Park in the News

Crowds braved storms to visit Santa's grotto Santa made a big splash (literally) in Lund Park, Keighley, on the weekend of December 4. Despite heavy rain and cold weather the crowds were drawn to Lund Park and visited Santa’s grotto. More than 100 excited children and parents smiled and braved the storms to experience Lund Park’s new all-weather, luxury marquee (thanks to Joan and Fred, from Poole, Dorset). The marquee (available for hire) was beautifully decorated with hay and lights, festive music could be heard and some people thought they were stepping into a certain stable in Bethlehem but with no wise men to be seen. Lund Park’s Bowling Club chairman, Mick, opened the doors enabling access to their facilities for refreshments, mulled wine, which even warmed the cockles of the coldest members of the community. A huge thank you for donations goes out to The Community Chest, Low Fold Family Centre, Jo Jo’s Animal Feed, Broomhill Co-op and Hughes Bakery, in Saltaire. Also thanks to Sam, Jess and Jack, Mary, Jo and Derek, Leonie, Chrissie, Ruth and all I have forgotten. Lund Park Community Group promised to invite Santa to Lund Park regardless of the atrocious weather. We thought no-one would brave such extreme elements, however, we witnessed a heart-warming spectacle with an amazing response from across all the community. Thank you all for your overwhelming support. Roy Williams Chairman, Lund Park Community Group
