Xmas Hero
paper xmas pattern

Step inside the storybook and see,
A festive land as bright as can be.
The Grotto glows with twinkling lights,
Where dreams take flight on Christmas night.

Here, wishes sparkle, letters soar,
On special journeys to Santa’s door.
But turn the page, there’s more to unwrap –
A Christmas tale where dreams fall in your lap.

Glide on ice so crisp and bright,
Ride the big wheel into the night.
Fairground laughter fills the air,
While Snowstorm Wish enchants with flair.
Then gather round and feast away,
As we count down the days to Christmas Day.

WHAT’s ON THIS CHRISTMAS

Christmas Toy Appeal

Christmas Toy Appeal

Christmas Toy Appeal

We’ve teamed up with Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital to help bring a little extra joy to young patients this season. Together, we’ll be donating gifts to children spending time in hospital, ensuring every child experiences the joy and excitement of Christmas morning.

We are kindly asking customers to donate new, unwrapped toys suitable for children of all ages. All items must have the CE safety mark, no handmade items and presents should not be wrapped. No gift is too small, and every contribution will make a real difference.
