With winter upon us and the dark nights firmly in charge, what better way to bring some added colour and joy to your Christmas season than heading along to this superb free light and musical experience – which will delight young and old alike.

“It’s a definite must see this festive season!” said a spokesperson. “Plus every weekend there will be musical performers to entertain and delight customers.”

🎅✨ Fochabers

A ‘first for Moray’ is being promised to those who visit the newest member of the Simpsons group in Fochabers.

They are available on a first-come, first-served basis – so make sure to head on down in order to avoid missing out on this experience, which is not a grotto, but will delight those visiting nevertheless when it lands at the end of November.
