The Friends of Locke Park Christmas event in Locke Park was an event for all the family; a real community event with carols; planting pots with spring bulbs and putting together bird boxes to take home; tombola and raffle; a couple of activity stalls; enjoying mince pies, stolen and mulled wine. The kids also enjoyed the opportunity to meet Father Christmas. And this year Barnsley Hospice’s Santa Dash took place. Thanks to everyone who took part and helped.
