MIKOŁAJKI (ST NICHOLAS) PHOTOS Friday 6 December 2024 

December 6th marks a very special day for many European Children – Mikołajki also known as St Nicholas’ Day – a day filled with wonder and joy when the main man himself St. Nick visits all the children that have been good through the year. This year he is gifting us his presence by making the extra special trip to the Polish Club/ Klub Polski Ashfield. Mikołaj will be dressed in his finest traditional Polish Christmas robes and seated in a European Christmas Wonderland.

The Polish Club Ashfield will be extending an open invitation to children and their families to get a few happy snaps.
