Hundreds of families are expected to attend this weekend’s Winter Wonderland, the Inverness Winter Festival’s most popular event for toddlers which will be staged at Whin Park this weekend. (Friday 13, Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 December).

Featuring the illumination of a number of giant attractions installed by The Highland Council’s Lighting Team; this year’s Wonderland at Whin Park will also see the debut of a number of effects created by Limelight Event Services. As well as giving children the chance to play on the numerous rides in the park, which will be especially floodlit for the occasion; the event will also give youngsters the chance to meet the special guests who will be joining Santa and his Reindeer; including the Huskies, the Four Calling Birds and the Snow King and Queen.

The Friday Wonderland will start at the later time of 6pm and finish at 9pm. On Saturday and Sunday the Wonderland will be open between 4pm and 7pm.

Inverness Winter Festival Working Group Chair Councillor Glynis Sinclair said: “This event has been designed for the smaller members of our community and for those who are young at heart and it seems to be growing in popularity with every passing year. We would ask everybody to wrap up warmly, pack their camera, and come and enjoy what is sure to be a wonderful experience for children of all ages.”

The Winter Wonderland is sponsored by the Inverness Common Good Fund as part of the Inverness Winter Festival programme.  Admission is free.
