Sunday 22nd December
Report written by Jade
After our elf clothing fitting we were introduced to the other elves, Anabel and Scott, who were already greeting the visitors arriving at Santa's grotto. The sun was shining (in December) and we were suitably dressed (underneath our costumes) to enjoy being outside - each taking it in turns to check in the guests and play photographer/give out presents.
Mid session we switched out and it did get a bit chilly as it started to rain but we kept warm elfing around and waving at the kids as they waited patiently to meet Santa. What an amazing festive task to support with and we are looking forward to helping out at Deen City Farm again soon... especially if there are costumes ;)!
Deen City Farm is one of the oldest city farms in London, located in the heart of the London Borough of Merton we are a charity with an educational focus. We teach the local community about the rural environment and where their food comes from. We have an active Volunteering programme as well as a Riding School offering affordable lessons to the local community.
