Just in case those of you from Oooop North are visiting Lancaster on the 21st......... My son and his friend Libby won a competition to run one of the Grottoes.
It'll be fun, or so I'm told!!!!!!
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it up, a previous appointment and a funeral of a friend, for whom I used to baby sit when he was much younger. He was killed while out doing a charity motorcycle ride - collecting Xmas presents for children who were worse off then themsleves - ............. 4 killed, including an 11 year old girl, by an Austrian who lost control of a camper van, out in New Zealand where he'd recently settled with his girlfriend. Not a good day.
Anyway, here's some info
Fri 21 Alternative Christmas Grottoes in Market Sq. For one day only, in Lancaster’s Market Square, shoppers and children alike will be given the opportunity to experience a different sort of Christmas Grotto. There will be a choice of two in the square, both offering atypical and distinctive experiences which question our modern perceptions of Christmas. A visit to either Grotto will still maintain the magic of the festive period, just in a different way. These Grottoes are for children of all ages from 1 to 100, in fact they may be particularly appealing to adults. The Grottoes, which will be free and open to all, have been created by two groups of students from the Interactive Arts course at Manchester Metropolitan University.
