Castle Espie 'Here Comes Santa' Prize Winner

Castle Espie Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), were delighted to host Santa and his team of helpers last weekend with over 250 children from across the province eagerly waiting to meet the man himself.  Families enjoyed a day of magical storytelling, crafty workshops, festive refreshments and of course helped feed Santa’s birds.
