🎄❤️ LET’S LIGHT UP OUR VILLAGE THIS CHRISTMAS! ❤️🎄

Here at The Village Tavern, we’re really proud to be working in conjunction with the Wolstanton Community Christmas Group to support their wonderful project to bring a beautiful community Christmas tree to the heart of our village. 🎄✨

The Christmas tree is their project, but we’re delighted to get behind it and help spread the word to our customers, friends, neighbours and local businesses.

Christmas is all about bringing people together, and we’d love to see our whole community get behind this and help make the tree something really special for everyone to enjoy throughout the festive season. ❤️

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. Whether you can give £5, £20 or £500, every contribution takes the project one step closer to becoming a reality.

🎅 How can you help?

🎄 Make a financial donation
🎄 Donate equipment, materials or services
🎄 Share this appeal with your friends, family and neighbours
🎄 If you’re a local business, consider getting involved and supporting the project

There’s also an opportunity for supporting businesses to be recognised on the Wolstanton Community Christmas Group’s social media page, with a plaque on the raised bed of the Christmas tree to help showcase your business.

We’re incredibly proud to support the Wolstanton Community Christmas Group in bringing a little extra Christmas magic to our village, and we hope our customers and the wider community will join us in getting behind them. ❤️

Let’s come together, support a fantastic local project and light up Wolstanton this Christmas! ✨🎄

Please scan the QR code on the poster to donate, and if you can’t donate, simply sharing this post could help enormously.

Thank you to everyone who gets involved and helps make our village a little brighter this Christmas. ❤️
