Christmas tree for snow leopards - by Marwell Wildlife

Christmas Tree For Snow Leopards


Video courtesy of Marwell Wildlife


These 3 snow leopard cubs joined in the festive spirit when a real Christmas tree was placed in the home. Although only 6 months old, they appear to be very curious about this addition to the foliage in their surroundings.

Mum Irina was the first to make sure it was safe, the cubs only investigated later in the afternoon. The 3 cubs names are Kitana, Kamala and Kadhir (they were named by public vote from 1,400 submitted names).

Enjoy the video.

Sunday 2nd December

Market Place

 
 
The Cairngorm Reindeers are set to appear at the 24th annual Fayre in Keswick on Sunday 2nd December. There will be 6 reindeer with Father Christmas and Hollyberry being carried from the Keswick Rugby Club to Market Square passing via Derwent Close in their sleigh. You will not want to miss this around midday on Sunday, thereafter gifts will be handed out to children by Father Christmas.
 
 
There is going to be plenty to keep everyone busy, occupied and happy. Ranging from around 30 charity stalls, to live entertainment and children's funfair at the top end of Market Square. The final Christmas Songs of Praise will be held in St John's Church at 4:30pm.
 
 
Parking is free in Bell Close, Central, Lakeside and Otley Road car parks, this is courtesy of Allerdale Borough Council, but beware this does not apply to the other car parks or disk zones. The Fayre kicks off at 11am on Sunday 2nd December.
 
 

Special thanks go to the organisers: Members of the Keswick and Bassenthwaite Rotary Clubs, Keswick Lions, Keswick Inner Wheel and other willing volunteers, to the benefit of the local community.
