Deeside Leisure Centre will host another weekend of festive activity as part of its Winter Wonderland programme, with live Christmas carols and a visit from the much-loved Deeside Round Table Santa Float.
Live carols supporting Marie Curie
Suzy’s Ukulele Band will perform from 1:30pm on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December to welcome visitors and raise money for Marie Curie. Sue Griffith chose the charity in recognition of the support she received during her cancer recovery, giving the performances a personal and local significance as well as a festive atmosphere. The band will appear on most weekends throughout December, helping create a warm community feel around the rink.
Santa Float visit on Sunday
The Deeside Round Table Santa Float will stop at the centre from 10am to 12pm on Sunday 7th December, meeting families, collecting donations for local causes and bringing extra Christmas cheer to the rink. The new 2025 float adds a further community led element to Winter Wonderland and offers families the chance to see Santa even if they are not on the float’s usual route this year. Children may even catch Santa causing a bit of Christmas chaos on the ice.
A festive day for all ages
Families can enjoy public skating from £9 per person, browse Christmas market stalls and festive treats, and explore the inflatable park and snow themed Winter Wonderland setting which has already proved very popular.
Charlotte Lewis, Marketing Manager at Gwella, said:
“Winter Wonderland has already been incredibly well received, and adding these community elements creates something special for families. Suzy’s band performing for a cause that matters to her, combined with the visit from the Deeside Round Table Santa Float, brings a genuine sense of local spirit to the event.”
