Santa’s Lost His Magic at Swanley Park… We Need Your Help!
Santa was out conducting a high-altitude flight rehearsal over Kent when he hit a massive “festive fog bank” right above Swanley Park. The sleigh took a tumble, and his pack split wide open.
Santa made it back to the North Pole safely, but he’s left behind three essential festive items. We’re recruiting Festive Recovery Agents to step up, track down the missing items, and save Christmas!
What’s happening on the day?
Children will take part in a 1.5k rescue mission loop through Swanley Park to hunt down and recover Santa’s missing items. The best part? Mini-Agents will get to keep all the festive goodies they collect along the way.
Under-5s Fancy Dress Competition
Got little ones under 5? Dress them up in their festive best. We’ll be hosting an Under-5s Fancy Dress Competition with the winner announced right before our official pre-mission warm-up begins.
