Dobbies get into the spirit of Christmas


Dobbies launched their Christmas displays this week with stores holding Christmas Charity Nights and proceeds going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation...

The festive activities were in full swing at the Peterborough garden centre where customers paying a £1 entrance fee were treated to a host of demonstrations.

Nadine Fountain, community champion at the store, said they hoped to create a party atmosphere with mulled wine and mince pies.

"There are lots of activities for our customers to try and competitions with some great competitions. We intend it to be a fun-packed evening."

"This event is just the start of our Christmas events, with proceeds going towards the Make-A-Wish Foundation."

During the Christmas Charity Night there were demonstrations on making edible Christmas tree decorations and festive cup cakes. Visitors were also treated to a lesson on dressing a Christmas table and wreath. Music was supplied by King Don on festive steel drums and the Hereward Harmony Group.

Dobbies Peterborough will be opening their Santa's Grotto next month.
