Fenwick‘s Festive Showcase 2017
|
Fenwick will been showing off their stunning festive showcase on Sunday 26th November between 4:00- 4:30pm. This year, it’s a surprise! So keep your eyes peeled and we look forward to seeing you there for a magical merry Christmas.
Alongside the surprise showcase, Fenwick have provided ten local schools with a Carousel horse sculpture, for their children to decorate and then form part of exclusive exhibit inside Fenwick Colchester. The Christmas community scheme is helping to support art study in local schools and some of the schools that secured the chance to paint a coveted horse include Chappel Primary, Ardleigh St Mary Church of England Primary and Bures Primary School. The ten beautiful horse sculptures, measuring 135cm wide x 145cm high x 45cm deep, have been provided free by Fenwick Colchester. Once unveiled, the Carousel painted creatures will be displayed in-store for four weeks in the lead up to Christmas and free for anyone to pop in store to enjoy. After the festive period, the horses will be sold for around £250 each with any proceeds going to charity, while participating schools will have first refusal to buy the horses back. Why not visit Father Christmas in his Grotto to make your child's Father Christmas experience even more magical! more details>> |
