Before I start editing and posting pics I just want to truly thank you all for your support this year. If you know me, you will know how hard it was to put it together after losing my Mum in October. My mind just wasn’t working. But you still booked anyway trusting it would be fabulous. Thank you so much.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas was born a good few years back in the Old Venue. And we have such amazing memories of our Christmas workshops there. We know there are so many fancier options out there right now, lights, experiences, shows but we don’t try to compete.

Our concept is for the children to create and make things themselves in preparation for the night before Christmas. Hearing one boy say today ‘Mom we made everything ourselves’ I knew they got it.

We included..

A mug with their own image inside the window and Santa looking in on Christmas Eve

A cosy Beanie hat, pressed on site with their chosen Christmas stickers if they go visiting.

Socks designed themselves to wear with their PJs to snuggle on the couch.

A Snowman to play with.

Reindeer Food filled by them and their sticker put on.

A Tree Decoration.

A letter from Santa.

Popcorn and jellies for watching a movie.

Designed their own cupcake to take home.

Everything packed by them into their own Christmas Eve Box.

We also had a visit with Santa in our grotto designed by Debbie. to have a last minute word and had delicious hot chocolate and played games (Bingo) like you would on the Night Before Christmas.

We also took fab photos with our backdrops for memories.

Thank you to everyone who helped and it has to be said credit to you all, all the children were absolutely so fantastic and so appreciative of everything we did.

Just a little idea of how our socks were made, they weren’t just coloured in.

Kids coloured a pattern sheet. This colouring sheet was scanned onto computer where our designer duplicated for 4 sides of the sock and added names for personalisation. It was then printed onto sublimation paper which carries the inked image and pressed by heatpress. The image is now part of the sock and can be worn and washed as normal.

Loved them! Some very talented kids.

Morning, ready for day 2! Again we’ll open just 5 mins before so please wait in cars until door opens. Also even though we know lots of the kids they all need to be signed in and a phone number left. Even though we have your contact details somewhere I just want it on the one page today and handy if needed with it being so busy. Thanks guys, can’t wait to upload all the photos tonight. Also please be patient on the return. The personalised socks for 25 plus kids (100 scans and prints) is time consuming and testing my marriage 😂😂 so we may go over a little bit.
