Winter is definitely here! There's an icy chill in the air, the dark nights are upon us and Advent calendars are being opened. Here at the National Wildflower Centre we are very much in the festive mood, with Christmas lunches being offered in the Cornflower Cafe - so make sure you book a place for you and your family, friends or colleagues.
You can have two courses for £12 or three for £15 and you will not only get a lovely meal but will be supporting the centre too.
The cafe has been specially decorated for the lunches too, so make sure you look up and admire the hand-made decorations as you're tucking in to your Turkey with all the trimmings, Wild salmon or Vegetarian Porcini Pasta Parcels.
Our menu also includes three choices of starter and three choices of desert including traditional Christmas pudding. I'm getting hungry just telling you about it!
There is also a Christmas buffet menu option available at £8.95 per head for a minimum of eight people. Again please remember you need to book first.
For further details and to book please ring 0151 738 1913 or email info@nwc.org.uk and remember to tell us the date and time you would like.
We are also just a couple of days away from our big FREE festive event - the Winter Celebration.
Come along with friends or family this Sunday between noon and 4pm - there's something for all ages. We have lots of things planned, with something to suit all ages including free workshops for children and adults.
Don't worry about the weather as you can browse in our craft marquee for festive gifts and cards or pop into the information marquee for lots of helpful local advice.
The Great Outdoors Health and Wellbeing Marquee will also be providing information to help people get more active through nature for better health and wellbeing.
The Great Outdoors project is part of Knowsley’s Target:Wellbeing programme. As part of its promotion of good health and wellbeing, the Wildflower Centre will have information on a new project, Get Growing, to encourage people to grow their own food and cook healthy meals.
Speaking of food - the centre's Cornflower Café will also be open, where you can warm your belly with festive hot mulled apple and cranberry juice; roast chestnuts; hot pork and turkey sandwiches; soups and homemade cakes.
We are also delighted that we will be joined by HaVoc who will perform favourite songs with a live band. The choir was formed in October 2007 by students of years 7 to 12 from Halewood College.
And of course no Winter Celebration would be complete without Santa Claus who will be waiting in his comfy grotto to take note of what youngsters' would like for Christmas .
