You could win Christmas on the Gloucester Road!

‘Twas the month before Christmas – and all through the town –

Shoppers were struggling – their faces a frown

But oh! How different upon Gloucester road….!

People so chilled out, their faces aglow Loving the choice – so much there for all….

With late opening – Christmas Shopping’s a ball!

So, the Gloucester Road independent traders are delighted to announce that throughout December they will be ready and waiting to welcome you with a huge range of scrumptious food and fabulous gifts. They want to tempt you with their quality and individuality, and make your life that bit easier with all your Christmas shopping done in one place without the horrid crowds.

So what’s in store? Well, shops will be decorated with lots of lovely lights and Christmas trees and welcoming windows aplenty, and there will be two specially late opening nights on Thursdays 11^th and 18^th (but lots of shops are looking to stay open later throughout the month too) and you’ll be entertained with carol singing all the way from the Arches to Pigsty Hill. We’re also hoping you’ll be able to munch on roasted chestnuts as you wend your way between placing your turkey and ham order at the butchers, and booking your vegetable box at the greengrocers ready for collection, with browsing for wonderful handmade, unique gifts, ordering flowers for the house or checking out the amazing toyshops. Of course you might want to pick up a new dress for the festivities and once you’re done with sorting out all of that, a quick bite and a glass of wine or perhaps coffee and a cake to restore your energies, before round two!

Best of all, you’ll be able to enter the competition to “Win Christmas” with a simple £1 donation (proceeds to charity) you’ll be entered in a draw to win everything you could possibly need to make your whole Christmas utterly magical. Entries will be taken at boxes in the local shops and the prize will be drawn on December 19^th.  Watch out for posters in the shop windows.
