50 Days till Christmas

The countdown to Christmas is officially on! The festive windows are up and we at Trotters HQ are officially ready to crack open the mince pies, crank up the Christmas tunes and start party planning.

Christmas is one of our favourite times of the year. There’s something magical and exciting that happens as the air starts to get cooler and the evenings start to draw in. All of it is met with the special flicker of Christmas lights turning on, chestnut vendors wheeling out their carts and ice-skating rinks popping up all over town.

How are Trotters Celebrating Christmas this Year?

• Elf Day, Friday 3^rd December. In support of Alzheimer’s Society (https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/elf-day) join us by dressing up and unleashing your inner elf. It’s the perfect way to spread some festive cheer and raise money for people affected by dementia and their families.
• Duke of York Christmas Event, Saturday 4^th Join us at our Kings Road store for a fun day of festivities. There will be carriage rides, carollers, events, give-aways and more. We’ve even heard that the ‘big man’ himself will make an appearance! 
• Christmas Jumper Day, Friday 10^th This year we are partnering with a very special charity, Save the Children. Join us by dressing up in your best festive Christmas jumper and make a donation to Save the Children to help “Protect the Magic” for children everywhere.
