It’s almost the merriest time of the year and there are so many things to put on your festive list of things to do!

Just take a look on page 7 where you’ll fi nd our best attractions have transformed into festive winter extravaganzas. Whether it’s a twirl on the ice, a trip to the grotto, a winter trail or a glittering Christmas market, there’s plenty going on to channel your inner elf and have you reaching for the tinsel! As Christmas comes but once a year, we hope you enjoy all the exceptional entertainment on off er and create happy family memories for years to come.


As we come to the year end, we’d also like to say a very big thank you to all teachers, staff and advertisers who have given us enthusiastic, constant support. Your feedback is invaluable and very much appreciated by all of us here at Primary Times.


So for now, may we wish everyone a whole heap of fun, with all the trimmings, and a very Merry Christmas with your families.


See you in the New Year!
