Wonderland sponsors needed

Sunday 22 October 2023

With winter approaching, one of the season's most popular events is in need of sponsors so it can go ahead.

Tickets for the Winter Wonderland, held at the Bachmann family home at Les Issues, St Saviour's, have sold out every year that the event has been run.

Supported by Autism Guernsey, the Lions Club of Guernsey and Specsavers, the event offers a chance to see Father Christmas, with music, lights, food and a laser show.

The event is put on each year at the beginning of December with time set aside so families with autistic children can attend when it is quieter.

With a number of attractions put on within the same evening, the organisers are hoping to find some corporate sponsors to help fund the main marquee, while offering a chance to musicians who may like to busk during the event.

The marquee sponsor would be asked to help fund the tent itself as well as portaloos and a generator which is estimated to cost around £3,500 with sponsors also asked to help out with supplying things like burgers, hot dogs, mulled wine, chestnuts, banners, an event traffic licence, first aiders from St. Johns, and other essential items.

Musicians are also asked to volunteer their time for the busking.

Anyone who may be able to help is asked to contact Autism Guernsey directly.
