Two dedicated Salisbury fundraisers, Lynne Rose and Colin Ford, are inviting local families to start their festive season with a special “Lunch with Santa” event on Sunday, 14 December at the Laverstock & Ford Sports Club.
The event is part of Lynne and Colin’s ongoing fundraising for The Stars Appeal, Salisbury District Hospital’s Charity, as they prepare for the Dalai Lama Mountain Trek in April 2026.
Having raised funds together on their last two charity treks in support of the charity, the pair are once again joining forces as Team COLLYN to support services and projects that make an essential difference for patients, their families and staff at Salisbury District Hospital.
Tickets are £10 per child, with family members aged 12+ attending for free.
Each child ticket includes lunch and a gift from Santa. With a free ‘Letter to Santa” writing station, free photo opportunities, a sweet-treat gift table, as well as festive music and a fun family atmosphere. Tickets for the Team COLLYN BIG Christmas Raffle, which they run each year, will also be available.
Lynne and Colin expressed their gratitude for the support of Laverstock & Ford Sports Club, who are providing the venue for this special event, and Spitfire Kitchen, based at Warner House on Castle Street, who are generously donating the children’s lunches and food for family adults and over 12 siblings to purchase on the day. “We can’t thank Kerry and her team at Spitfire Kitchen enough for their kindness and generosity,” they said. The event is also sponsored by Complete Construction Salisbury Ltd, Total Foot Health, Parker Bullen, Ockenden Financial Planning, Access2 Human Resources and Personnel Placements.
“We’re overwhelmed by the support from our community,” said Lynne and Colin. “This event is all about bringing families together for a bit of Christmas magic while helping raise vital funds for The Stars Appeal.”
