St Nicholas Comes to Acorn Village
After a strict risk assessment and a temperature check we were able to have our first ever visit from St Nicholas on Saturday 5th December.
St Nicholas met supported living tenants in the Walled Garden sticking to socially distancing rules before walking outside to wave though windows and talk at a distance to residents outside. There was lots of smiles to be seen around the village.
Presents that had been isolated for 72hrs were left for the residents and supported living tenants to enjoy.
A big thank you to our Patron Nigel Spencer DL for arranging this special surprise and the wonderful Christmas Tree at the entrance to Acorn Village.
