ALL THE fun of the fair can be found at Highfield Garden World in Whitminster this year, as the garden centre has teamed up with Billy Danter’s Fun Fairs in Moreton Valence to stage a festive first.

For the first time, young visitors will be able to enjoy a mini funfair every weekend leading up to Christmas at the centre.

The fair will be a mix of old-fashioned favourites, including a chair-o-plane ride, hook-a-duck and tin can alley stalls, to complement the garden centre’s Santa’s Grotto and “Tea with Santa” attractions.

Director Tim Greenway said: “Christmas is a really busy time for us here with lots of people buying trees, gifts, decorations and food. Santa has already set up home in his grotto. and he’s hosting a tea with children.

“We thought an old-fashioned funfair could add to the festive atmosphere.”
