Now that Bonfire Night is behind us it’s OK to talk Christmas

This year we’re turning on the cheer in London, Derby, Warrington, Keighley and York with diverse shows that range from the traditional to the contemporary.

The elf at our grown up grotto at the Brunswick Centre in London welcomes visitors with mulled wine and Christmas tunes in a lovely log cabin kitted out with decorations made from kitschy Christmas jumpers and vintage wrapping paper. City shoppers can escape the madness and take time out to play board games, or Spin the Wheel to enter our prize competition and find out if they’re on the nice list or the naughty list. Hampers full of goodies from local retailers are up for grabs, the question is will you take home the nice one filled with beauty and pamper gifts, or the naughty one filled with alcoholic treats?

Headlining our Christmas stage show at Westfield, Derby is Britain’s Got Talent finalists, The Luminites, bringing their unique street style to the midlands. In Warrington it’s all about family fun with cbeebies presenters, Sid & Andy hosting a festive show that includes special guest appearances from Rastamouse, The Shockarellas, Halo and a live link to the North pole with a message from the big man himself, Santa. We’ll also be liaising with air traffic control over the north east to coordinate the safe and timely arrival of his sleigh during peak times over at York Designer Outlet 😉

And finally X-Factor pop sensation, Amelia Lily will raise the roof off Keighley entertaining the crowds with her powerful voice. All this plus tons of crafty Christmas events happening up and down the country throughout November and December is enough to keep the elves in our workshop busy, busy, busy.
