FATHER Christmas is making his first visit to a new community in Lydney on Sunday (December 1).

The special guest appearance at River View Garden Village is part of a festive family fun day being hosted by the Edenstone Group.

Sales director Adele McCoy said: “More than 30 homes at River View Garden Village are now occupied and we have other residents moving in before Christmas. Some of the younger residents may be concerned that Father Christmas doesn’t know their new address so to reassure them, we’re hosting a special event where they can meet him.

“It’s also a chance for those thinking of moving here to view the properties. A new home would make a fantastic gift for all the family – even if won’t fit on the sleigh on Christmas Eve!”

River View Garden Village in Lydney is a sustainable new community being shaped by Edenstone Homes and Bluebell Homes, both part of the Edenstone Group.

The company has planning consent for 177 new homes, which are being built alongside allotments, cycle hire facilities, play areas, exercise stations and charging points for electric vehicles.

Current availability includes a good choice of two, three and four-bedroom homes, including bungalows, with prices from £205,000.

“Buy a home at River View Garden Village now and this could be your last Christmas in your current property,” Adele added.

“Next year you could be creating new memories and traditions as you celebrate your first Christmas in your brand new home.”

To join in the festive fun, visit River View Garden Village from 11am to 3pm on Sunday, December 1.
