A READING-based law firm has helped make Christmas special by offering advice to organisers of a popular festive attraction.
Blandy & Blandy, based in Blagrave Street, helped the operators of Reading’s Winter Wonderland, Premier Winter Wonderland Events Ltd, on the company’s Premises Licensing application – and in doing so, helped secure its presence in the town for the next six years.
Last month, Reading Borough Council’s Licensing Sub-Committee gave their permission for the attraction to run for up to 54 days a year until January 2028.
Located in Hills Meadow, Caversham, and centred around a large, covered ice rink, the town’s Winter Wonderland will also feature festive stalls, food outlets, rides and attractions for all ages and, for good boys and girls, Santa’s grotto.
Premier Winter Wonderland Events Ltd was advised by Blandy & Blandy partner Sue Dowling, who provides specialist legal advice to venue owners and operators in relation to alcohol and entertainment licensing.
“Last year’s event was extremely successful and we are delighted to have helped to secure Winter Wonderland’s future in Reading, for this year’s event and hopefully, until 2028,” she said.
“It is very much a family-orientated event and helps to bring business to, and breathe life into, the Reading area.”
