Wildheart Animal Sanctuary is inviting visitors to step into a world of Christmas magic this December as it hosts Wildheart Wonderland, a spectacular festive event taking place on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th December.
Running from 5pm to 7.30pm on both evenings, the Sanctuary will be transformed after dark into a festive wonderland, filled with dazzling light installations, live performances, seasonal music and plenty of opportunities to soak up the Christmas spirit.
The event is proudly supported by headline sponsors Cherry Godfrey, whose backing will help bring this special festive celebration to life.
Lights and roaming performers
Visitors can explore the Sanctuary in a whole new light, with festive illuminations and spectacular installations created by The New Carnival Company, bringing colour, creativity and seasonal sparkle to the experience.
Music and entertainment on both nights
The entertainment programme promises something for everyone, with performances from Here Comes Treble, an a cappella vocal trio, and aerial silks performers Jaydene Lee Arts. Friday evening will feature Christmas carols and festive favourites from the Melodic Choir, alongside Ruby performing festive acoustic music.
On Saturday, visitors can enjoy performances from The Collective Voice Choir and Amy Jolliffe, who will be performing acoustic music. Adding even more sparkle to the festivities, StixGuy, Kai and Azaria will bring spectacular LED light shows to the event with roaming performances from The New Carnival Company adding to the magical atmosphere throughout both evenings.
Firepit, food and family fun
Guests can also gather around a cosy firepit, enjoy delicious food from local traders and spend a festive evening with family and friends in the unique surroundings of the Sanctuary.
Whether visitors are looking for a memorable family outing, a festive get-together with friends or an opportunity to kick-start their Christmas celebrations, Wildheart Wonderland promises a magical experience with a distinctly Isle of Wight feel.
