The British Garden Centres branch launched its campaign Where Magic Begins on October 10 and 11, aiming to make this year’s celebrations ‘bigger and brighter than ever’.
The first 50 groups through the door received a ‘golden ticket’, which entitled them to a free bauble, and all guests enjoyed seasonal treats and live festive music.
With a visit from Santa Claus, sparkling decorations and other festive family fun, the launch aimed to be the ‘perfect way to start the countdown’ to the most wonderful time of the year.
Christmas now commenced, bookings for festive dining and magical Santa experiences are now available.
