The Christmas is fast approaching, and the residents of Penhill are in for a treat as Prospect Hospice’s Penhill charity shop prepares to host a heartwarming Christmas gifting event.
Set to take place on Saturday, 4th November, from 9 am to 4.30 pm, the shop at Braydon Court will be a festive haven, spreading joy and magic to all who attend.
This special event is crafted with the intention of helping families create a magical Christmas without straining their budgets. For those eager to get a head start on their Christmas shopping, the Penhill charity shop will be adorned with an array of brand-new items. From toys to toiletry sets and handmade gift baskets, there will be something for everyone, catering to a variety of budgets.
Adding an extra sprinkle of magic to the occasion, Santa Claus himself will be making a special appearance. Ready to spread Christmas cheer to all the good boys and girls, Santa will be present from 10 am to 12 pm and then again from 2 pm to 4 pm.
Excited youngsters can meet Santa in his grotto without needing an appointment, and tickets can be purchased on the day from the till for just £3. Each ticket includes a special present from Santa, ensuring a delightful experience for all.
Victoria Canavan, head of retail at Prospect Hospice said: “Our Penhill Christmas gifting event is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and embrace the festive spirit. We’re delighted to again provide an enjoyable and affordable way for families to create lasting memories this Christmas.”
For the budding artists in the community, there’s an additional treat—a special colouring competition on the day. Participants can submit their festive creations for judging during Christmas week, offering a fantastic opportunity for children to showcase their creativity and potentially win a prize.
Prospect Hospice’s Penhill shop is located at 3 Braydon Court, Penhill Drive, Swindon, SN2 5BL.
