We will have a group of naughty elves from Starkidz Elftastic Christmas Elves to keep us entertained between performances by Southport Costume Crew who you will remember from our successful Halloween show.
“To keep your tastebuds alert we have our friends from Chocolate Whirled bringing down some of their delicious artisan chocolates, they have also donated a gift voucher which we’ll raffle on the night.
“The event is generously sponsored by Fletchers Legal, we’re giving out hot chocolate, Quality Street and lots of freebies all in return for a donation to Freshfields Animal Rescue.”
