A BOROUGH garden centre has announced the return of its late-night Christmas Shopping Night.

Visitors to Dobbies Garden Centre at Hare Hatch will be able to enjoy an opportunity to pick up gifts, fragrant tree displays, twinkling lights and eye-catching decorations until late in the evening one night this month.

The store will also be offering live Christmas music from local groups and plenty of jingle bells to accompany the event, and says that there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

Visitors to the extravaganza can expect a free arrival drink, tasters, demo stations, discounts and offers valid during the event, money off vouchers, and a display of decorated Christmas trees unveiled by local community groups.

Ayesha Nickson, Dobbies’ events programme manager said: “Our annual Christmas Shopping Night is a fantastic way to get into the festive spirit, while contributing to a great cause.

“We have raised more than £1.39million for Teenage Cancer Trust since the start of our partnership.
