The Christmas Shopping Night is described as the perfect opportunity for families across Gloucestershire to get into the Christmas spirit and explore festive gifts, decorations and products.

There will also be tables available to book in the new 10,000 sq ft restaurant, offering a taste of the Christmas menu. There will be two courses for £14.95, with the option of traditional roast turkey dinner or vegetarian Christmas dinner with Quorn sausages, followed by Christmas pudding or mince pie cheesecake.

Sarah Murray, partnership and events manager at Dobbies said: “We’re so excited to be celebrating Christmas for the first time at our brand-new flagship store in Tewkesbury and the team is looking forward to kicking off the festivities with our Christmas Shopping Night.
“So far, we have raised over £1.2m for Teenage Cancer Trust across all our stores and we’re looking forward to adding to this total over the festive season. This shopping night is a great opportunity for customers in Gloucestershire to enjoy a festive night out with exclusive offers, while also contributing to raising funds for an incredibly worthwhile cause.”
Donna Bednarek, senior relationships manager for Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “We are looking forward to visiting the brand-new Dobbies’ Tewkesbury store, for their first ever Christmas Shopping Night, and getting the chance to meet customers from across Gloucestershire. It’s companies like Dobbies, and their incredible team members and customers taking part in events like this, that allow us to ensure no young person faces cancer alone.”
Tickets are priced at £1, available at dobbies.com and in-store, and all proceeds from ticket sales and fundraising on the night will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust. It is also possible to opt in to make a donation to the charity when booking other festive events online.
