Christmas unveiled at Bents Garden & Home

 

Christmas at Bents has been kept strictly under wraps for the past ten weeks, but on Wednesday the wait was over and this year’s themed displays were unveiled. 

 

Hundreds of customers joined Bents for the occasion and followed Father Christmas - who made a special guest appearance for the occasion - into this year’s magical wonderland.

 

Said Matthew Bent, Managing Director:  “Christmas has been a part of our family business for as long as I can remember and it never loses any of its charm or excitement, especially when we’re surrounded by such beautiful and inspirational displays.

 

“We have our very own team of set designers and joiners who work together to create our magical scenes and once again they have delivered another fantastic wonderland for our customers to enjoy.”

 

Bents were joined for the occasion by the Cllr Maureen Creaghan, Deputy Mayor of Warrington, who helped with the opening, and actor Daniel Jillings from Bents’ Charity of the Year, Once Upon a Smile who drew the raffle for two beautiful Christmas hampers.

 

Bents 2019 centrepiece, Make it Magical, is a stunning combination of blush pink, silver and white decorations and is just one of many expertly designed show-stoppers, which are full of inspiration and ready to be re-created at home.

 

Now that Christmas at Bents is open there is a full calendar of festive events planned at the Centre, starting with Father Christmas’ Arrival on Saturday 9th November at 10am.
