Dobbies to host festive event for Teenage Cancer Trust

 

Dobbies is welcoming the start of the festive season with a special charity shopping night in aid of National Charity Partner, Teenage Cancer Trust. This is taking place across the UK on Thursday 24 November, 5-9pm, with tickets on sale now. 

 

The Christmas Shopping Night is a perfect opportunity for the whole family to explore great-value festive gifts, decorations and products and get into the Christmas spirit.

 

There will be a welcome drink on arrival plus the chance to enjoy the exclusive shopping offers available on the night. With the Christmas themes for 2022 displayed throughout the stores there will be decorating inspiration for all, no matter your style or budget. 

 

Dobbies’ popular Santa’s Grotto will launch in 50 stores for a special preview as well as a bookable tables in the restaurant in 61 locations offering a taste of the Christmas menu. Available on the night will be two courses for £14.95 with the option of traditional roast turkey dinner or vegetarian Christmas dinner with Quorn sausages, followed by Christmas pudding or mince pie cheesecake.

 

Sarah Murray, Partnership and Events Manager at Dobbies said: “We’ve raised over £1.2m for Teenage Cancer Trust and our Christmas Shopping Night is a great opportunity, not only for customers to enjoy a festive night out and exclusive offers, but contribute to raising funds for an incredibly worthwhile cause.”

 

Tickets are priced at £1, available at dobbies.com and in-store, and all proceeds from ticket sales and fundraising on the night will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust. It is also possible to opt in to make a donation to the charity when booking other festive events online.

 

Donna Bednarek, Senior Relationships Manager for Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “We are delighted to see the return of Dobbies Christmas Shopping Night this year – an event our volunteers love to be part of. It’s companies like Dobbies, and their incredible team members and customers taking part in events like this, that allow us to ensure no young person faces cancer alone.”

 

Attendees are invited to take a photo in-store for the chance to win a prize. Customers can share their photos on social media by using #DobbiesChristmasNight and tagging @dobbiesgardencentres to automatically be entered.
