Christmas is slowly approaching and many organisations are putting on events to celebrate the festive season.

Dobbies in Swindon are set to put on a charitable event in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The event will take place on November 24, with a shopping night being planned.

This will be in the form of exclusive shopping offers along with a welcome drink for guests on arrival.

The restaurant will also be offering a mini-Christmas menu with a two-course meal on the table for £14.95.

Options include traditional roast turkey dinner or vegetarian Christmas dinner with Quorn sausages, followed by Christmas pudding or mince pie cheesecake.

Sarah Murray, Partnership and Events Manager at Dobbies said: “We’ve raised over £1.2m for Teenage Cancer Trust and our Christmas Shopping Night is a great opportunity, not only for customers in Swindon to enjoy a festive night out and exclusive offers, but contribute to raising funds for an incredibly worthwhile cause.”

Donna Bednarek, Senior Relationships Manager for Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “We are delighted to see the return of Dobbies Christmas Shopping Night this year – an event our volunteers love to be part of.

"It’s companies like Dobbies, and their incredible team members and customers taking part in events like this, that allow us to ensure no young person faces cancer alone.”

Tickets are priced at £1, available at dobbies.com and in-store, and all proceeds from ticket sales and fundraising on the night will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust.
