Merry time at Monkton Elm Garden Centre

Father Christmas arrived at Monkton Elm Garden Centre and the Wayfarers were there to meet them. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and met lots of lovely people, all of whom said they would be there to see Beauty and the Beast.

Sponsors Page Added to Website

In recognition of the valuable contribution our sponsors make to the Wayfarers, a page has now been added to the website. Without our sponsors we simply could not put on the Pantomime each year, so it is only fitting that we give them a place all year round that provides them with acknowledgement of our gratitude.
