Glenwood Village turns festive with Santa and his elves, crafty snowflakes, a lively morning market, music, treats and tons of family fun. Come for the cheer, stay for the Christmas magic! This family-friendly celebration kicks off from 9am
Enjoy a bumper Christmas activity day at Glenwood Village on Saturday, December 13, when Santa will be visiting with some of his elves, in a fun and festive pop-up Santa’s Workshop on the upper level for the morning in front of the fabulous new mural.
Santa and co will be available for photos, and offering a slew of children friendly activities including face painting, balloon twisting and colouring in.
Alongside Santa’s workshop Robin Opperman and Ujala Sewpersad will be hosting a craft workshop where participants can learn to make a super easy, but beautifully intricate handmade snowflake tree decoration. This is geared for older children and adults; and booking is required to participate. Phone Robin on 083 793 3408 to secure your spot. Cost is R100 which includes all necessary craft materials.
There will be a morning market on the upper level – offering Glenwood entrepreneurs an opportunity to showcase their wares and skills – offering fine art, greeting cards, sweet treats, books and CDs, pre-loved clothing, treasures and collectables, beadwork, belts, soaps and décor items.
There will be a pop-up coffee truck serving really good coffee, and home-baked goods for morning tea.
Durban’s own Ilza Oosthuizen will be playing a range of Christmas carols, festive songs and show tunes on the piano alongside the activity area.
And in front of Village Hardware on the upper level, there will be a free colouring in station for children to make Christmas themed pictures for cards or as decorations.
“Increasingly we understand the need to nurture a sense of neighbourhood in places where we gather,” says Glenwood Village’s Steve King, “and what better occasion to celebrate our shared community, than the beginning of the festive season!”
Many of the shops will be offering festive specials and promotions. Entry is free and all are welcome. Glenwood Village doesn’t charge for on-site parking, has guarded street parking and is easily accessible on public transport.
