WINTER celebrations that keep our Christmas traditions alive and are much more stimulating than the Christmas sales.

And hundreds of people agreed as they pored into Ringwood Waldorf School on Saturday for a dose of festive fun, winter workshops and Christmas cheer.

Children and their families have been preparing for the event by making items to sell, including cards and decorations. A variety of games and magical activities kept the children captivated while homemade lunches and cakes from the school’s café and restaurant were served.
