After a hugely successful first year in 2022, a festive party for children made a return to Louth

Louth’s second community Christmas party was held at the theatre on December 23, which saw the children and their families enjoy a disco provided by Slipstream Entertainment, a dancing polar bear, crafts, party food, and a visit from Santa with gifts for the children and parents.

There was also a story to celebrate Ukrainian culture, as the party was visited by some Ukrainian families.
