The Muppet Christmas Carol

Huge thank you to everyone who came down for our screening of The Muppet Christmas Carol at Walkley Community Centre the other weekend!

It was lovely to see so many people there and we were overwhelmed that so many families took time out of their busy, pre-Christmas weekends to join us for an afternoon of festive frivolities!

Really big thank you to Becky (@thimbleofgrace) for originally getting in contact with us and for recruiting so many helpful Christmas elves to transform the room, the staff at the Community Centre for being so welcoming. Thank you also to: St Mary's CE School and Walkley Brownies/Rainbows for allowing us in to run workshops and for creating such beautiful Christmas Wreaths and Lanterns and Mike Scown from Yorkshire Artspace, our ceramics expert for sharing his artistic and creative skills with us at the Y4s at St Mary's! 

And finally to the lovely musician Magpie for stepping in at the last moment and entertaining us with some Christmassy favourites. Be sure to follow them on facebook - www.facebook.com/magpiebandofficial
