🎄 It’s that time of year again! 🎄

As we venture into our sheds, lofts and attics to rescue the tinsel, trees and all things festive, how many times have we heard the question…

✨ “Shall we get some new Christmas decorations this year?” ✨

Well, if you’re thinking of having a Christmas clear-out, we’d love to give your unwanted festive items a new home!

We’re looking for Christmas trees, decorations, tinsel, lights and any other festive bits and pieces you may no longer need.

Your unwanted items could help us make Christmas extra special for others this year. ❤️

If you have anything you’d like to donate, please get in touch. Every little bit helps, and we’d be incredibly grateful for your kindness and generosity.

🎅 Let’s spread a little Christmas magic together! 🎁

Good afternoon all,
With Halloween over and as we move forward into Christmas, we would like to thank everyone that attended our Halloween Walkthrough and Ghost Hunt. I know that a lot of pictures were being taken from the general public, we would love to see these pictures and videos so we can do a compilation before we move forward to Christmas.

Many Thanks
