Break some records this Christmas


Greatest Award winning Brookside Garden Centre have already started breaking records for Christmas 2015.

After a two week teaser campaign on Facebook they launched their on-line booking for grotto visits at 8pm on Tuesday. Within 20 minutes, Christmas Eve had sold out, the server crashed and then by midday on Wednesday 12 days of Christmas Grotto sessions were sold completely.

“We are now looking at adding extra days and even extending in the evenings up to 10 o’clock,” Simon Shead told GTN Xtra this week.

“It’s really good news because we can now plan for our busy grotto days knowing exactly how many people will be attending and when. It should also help us increase other sales, including coffee shop visits over the festive period.”

What Christmas records are you looking to break? Let us know and we will add you to our growing list of nominations for The Greatest Christmas Awards.
