Celebrating Saint Nicholas Day

Get into the festive spirit and join the Ayr Presbyterian Church for a magical evening of fun and giving back this Christmas season. The annual Saint Nicholas Day celebration will take place on Friday, 6 December, from 5.30pm to 7pm at the church grounds.

This family-friendly event promises a heartwarming mix of activities and festive cheer, and attendees will learn about the story of Saint Nicholas of Myra, the inspiration behind the modern-day Santa Claus.

The evening will feature a range of activities, including decorating sugar cookies, creating Christmas crafts, and even making your own Christmas stocking in the “Boot Making” craft session. Younger participants and those young at heart can also design their own Christmas bauble by writing down something they’re grateful for and hanging it on the community tree.

No Christmas celebration would be complete without carols, so bring your singing voice and join in on the festive tunes. To keep everyone energised, there will be a sausage sizzle, along with tea, coffee, and scones available.

Each activity requires just a gold coin donation, with all proceeds going to Burdekin Community Association to support local families in need during the holiday season.

Bring your family, friends, and festive spirit along to this wonderful community event. Together, let’s spread joy and kindness this Christmas. For more details, visit Ayr Presbyterian Church or follow their Facebook page.
