FOYLES, CHARING CROSS ROAD, LAUNCHES
LONDON'S NEWEST CHRISTMAS GROTTO
Foyles, Charing Cross Road are delighted today to launch ticket sales for their brand new Christmas Grotto experience.
At this exciting new grotto experience, children can enjoy a magical festive visit to the city's leading bookstore for just £20, with adults visiting for free.
Families will be met by our team of friendly elves who will get them in the mood for a Christmas treat, before taking them to meet the inimitable Spruce Bruce the singing Christmas tree! Bruce is a unique animatronic singing Christmas tree, as seen last Christmas on TFI Friday. After he has lead the children in song, there's more fun and games with the elves, before each family is taken one by one for a private meet and greet with Santa Claus himself.
Foyles, Charing Cross Road have provided Santa with books for all children visiting the grotto, to make sure each child gets a gorgeous early Christmas gift.
Ruby Padwick, Sales and Events Hire Manager at Foyles, Charing Cross Road said: "We're so excited to be bringing a full scale Christmas experience to the store this year; it's the perfect addition to our Winter events programme and will encourage children and families to get into reading in a thoroughly festive fashion!"
Tickets are limited, and on sale now at www.foyles.co.uk/events.
