CherryTree Bakery hosts magical children’s Christmas party

Burnley-based CherryTree Bakery officially welcomed in the festive season with its much-loved annual Children’s Christmas Party, hosted at The Fence Gate.

Set against a breathtaking Christmas backdrop complete with giant nutcrackers, sparkling festive reindeer and a truly magical winter scene, the event brought joy to more than 60 children and grandchildren of employees.

The afternoon was packed with festive fun as children enjoyed face painting, magic tricks, party games and plenty of laughter. A delicious spread of party food kept energy high—but the real magic moment arrived with the much-anticipated appearance of Santa himself!

After problems with the reindeer’s ‘nose nav’ Santa’s arrival was helped along by a chorus of excited children singing Jingle Bells to guide his sleigh safely onto The Fence Gate roof. As the music grew louder, Santa appeared to cheers and applause, carrying a sack brimming with presents for each child—an unforgettable early Christmas treat.
