As a thank you to all of the customers who have shopped in St Andrew Street over the years, we thought we’d do something fun, free and festive to show our appreciation!
260 children with their Mummies and Daddies came to visit Santa in his grotto….
Santa asked how good they had been, and what pressie they really wanted from him this Christmas Eve!
Some even promised to be super good, right up to Christmas!
They also enjoyed having their photograph taken, which has been sent to all the parents via our trendy app!
They were also treated to face painting courtesy of Kirsty of The Dress Room
and Amy, (my daughter) who’s normal speciality is hair extensions.
With a helium balloon (the ones that didn’t pop while being filled!)
Entry into the St Andrew Street raffle for The Harrods 2013 Bear, the winner being ticket no. 48
As well as the Hertford town raffle.
Topped off with a “free cup of tea” being offered at Crave Deli and Galos.
So all in all we believe a lot of fun was had by all the kiddies, parents and the shop owners of St. Andrews Street who amazingly provided all the fun for free!!
Special thanks go to:
Party World for ALL the dress up costumes
Ilvino for supplying pizza to the grotto workers
