This year Nick Tansley and his great team from the Carols by Candlelight Trust will be holding the Christmas Carols at The Basin Reserve. The new venue is a first for Nick and the beauty of the new location is that families can bring their blankets and food and have a picnic and be part of christmas. Glass and alcohol are banned but all your picnic fare is acceptable.
The Wellington Hospitals and Health Foundation will be selling LIGHT STICKS and a bucket collection will be in place. All funds from donations and sale of light sticks will go to benefit all the sick kids at WELLINGTON CHILDRENS HOSPITAL.
We thank Nick and his team from the Trust for their continued suipport of Wellington Children’s Hospital
Doors open at 5.30pm
