There was plenty of warmth, laughter and festive spirit at the Faringdon Friendship & Memory Café this week as a very special guest stopped by to share seasonal greetings. Santa Claus arrived to delight attendees, spreading joy and cheer to everyone present and creating a truly memorable afternoon.
The visit was part of the Christmas initiative organised by Rotary Club of Faringdon and District, which aims to bring moments of happiness and connection to people of all ages across the town. For those attending the Memory Café, Santa’s appearance sparked smiles, conversation and a strong sense of community. Helpers accompanied Santa, taking time to chat with guests and ensure that everyone felt included in the festivities.
Beyond the café, Santa is also a familiar sight around Faringdon and the surrounding district in the run up to Christmas. Riding on his trusty Thomas the Tank Engine, he is traveling through local streets to spread goodwill far and wide. From young children waving excitedly from doorsteps to older residents enjoying the spectacle, the visits are designed to bring people together and brighten winter evenings.
Rotary Club of Faringdon and District is delighted to continue this much loved tradition, which reflects the club’s commitment to service, community spirit and seasonal generosity.
