It was a dreadful wet day outside, but inside the the Walled Garden at Thornton Manor, it was warm and dry with a definite feeling of Christmas. Christmas stalls, selling gifts and crafts to please all, with  a background of Christmas music played by WCO.  Shoppers stopped to listen  and join in the carol singing, led by WCO's own Tricia McClure,  whilst  children danced and waltzed to the music.  A most enjoyable afternoon and a very successful event for Claire House who raised nearly £10,000 from the day. WCO have been asked to play again next year.
