The Festival of Trees is now well and truly underway and there’s going to be a few people that walk away with some great Christmas gifts or treats in a couple of weeks time.
What’s it all about?
Situated in The Millgate Shopping Centre not far from BHS and Waterstones is a magical shop full of wonderful trees, trees that have been donated by local businesses in a bid to raise money for Bury Hospice.
Each tree is decorated with something that represents the business.
Every day until the 6th December each and every one of you will have the opportunity to bid on one of the trees. This is a silent auction with one lucky winner scooping the tree and all of it’s contents when the event has finished.
Our “tree of treats” as I like to call it has some wonderful gifts, all donated by our very generous members – in fact there are over £700 of gifts on our tree alone, some could be great Christmas gifts for others, others you’d maybe like to keep for yourself. One thing’s for sure though, someone is going to get a wonderful treat at the end of it all!
