Larger than life characters like Harvey Rabbit and Geoffrey Giraffe will be popping down to all the children’s wards to entertain the patients, dish out free cuddles and spread laughter.
The Cambridge United Football Team will also join in the fun, along with a beauty pageant and even some motor bikers!
The visitors will arrive on separate days throughout the week from 12th to 22nd December. The bikers will round off the week, before Santa’s visit on Christmas Day.
Programme of events:
12.12.13 14.00 Cambridge United Football team
16.12.13 TBC Beauty Queens
17.12.13 14.00 Harvey Rabbit
19.12.13 14.00 Geoffrey Giraffe
22.12.13 11.00 Bikers run
Bikers from all over the region will arrive at the hospital to deliver presents to children for Santa to give out on Christmas Day. Some patients will be shown the bikes just outside the concourse.
US Military Personnel based at local RAF bases will also be running a Christmas ‘Toys for Tots’ program, across the Christmas period, gathering presents for the children on the wards.
