Our Nativity

The year that keeps on giving … 2020 will go down as a memorable year!

As we move closer to 2021, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to all NHS staff, carers and key workers who have looked after us throughout 2020. And to you, our friends and customers, thank you for your continued support, kind words and loyalty. It means a lot! It is fair to say nearly all of our Christmas plans have changed this year, but we hope this Christmas brings you some comfort and joy and the New Year brings hope, happiness and peace.

We hope our outdoor socially distanced Nativity brings a smile to your face.

Merry Christmas

A donkey portrait image with red reins
A ram with rope muzzling its mouth
A woman dressed as an angel with a sheep behind her

Little donkey…

‘I didn’t sign up for this’ – Zeus the ram

At least Minty is enjoying himself… He must think he is in heaven

A man dressed in blue as one of the three kings from the nativity
A woman smiling dressed as an angel from a nativity
A woman smiling and holding a star made of tinsel

We three kings…

Calling all angels…

Twinkle twinkle…

The back of a man's head, with a red hat on that says 'madness'
A woman wearing a tinsel star, with another woman helping her put a boot on
Two donkeys stood in front of a woman wearing a green coat

This year has been ‘Madness’…

A helping hand… Our wedding team duo bubble

Gretel and Florence
