With Christmas fast approaching, our thoughts are starting to turn towards preparing for the festive season. And if it falls to you to host this year, or you have a lot of people to buy for, it can quickly start to feel overwhelming – with shopping, cooking, cards, decorations and more all to be sorted out. And, if you have young children in your household, you’re likely to be particularly busy.
We’ve all got that one person in our lives who is tricky to please, or someone for whom we have no idea what to buy. But it can help if, rather than traipsing round the High Street yet again, you set your sights on something a little more original. Equally, it’s a good idea to get cracking on your gift list as soon as you can.
At The Packhouse, we love Christmas while fully appreciating the challenges this time of year can bring. That’s why we run our highly popular festive late-night events at our premises near Runfold, Farnham, where you can make a night out of your seasonal shopping and make an excellent start on that present list before December even kicks in. Pick up things you won’t find anywhere else which will delight even the fussiest recipient, and knock the socks off – well, the standard gifts like socks or aftershave.
This year, these occasions take place over three Thursday evenings – on the 14th, 21st and 28th November, between 6pm and 9pm.
Come with friends and turn it into a pre-Christmas social meet-up ahead of the December whirlwind – after all, it may be the only time you can all get together! Enjoy a complimentary glass of prosecco and perhaps a mince pie at our Coffee House. You could also celebrate the season and a successful shopping trip by decamping to our on-site eatery, The Palm House restaurant, to sample its festive tapas menu as part of a relaxed evening in a magical ambience.
The good news is that customers who share cars, arrive by cab or are dropped off can book walk-in tickets free of charge.
Meanwhile, you can book a space in our car park for just £5. Spaces are limited, so we ask every vehicle arriving to have a booking, plus we encourage carpooling where possible. What’s more, all profits go to support the vital work of our local hospice, Phyllis Tuckwell.
Our festive shopping evenings are in fact proving so popular that, at the moment, parking for all three events is fully booked. However, it’s worth checking back with us over the next few weeks in case of any cancellations.
Plus you can still reserve walk-in tickets for all three dates.
At The Packhouse, we’re home to dozens of independent traders (more than 60 in all) spread over the upper floors of a former hop kiln that’s some four centuries old and a Grade II-listed building, making it very much a destination venue.
So if you’re stuck for inspiration this festive season, one of our stores is bound to have that elusive, perfect present, whether you’re after a gift in jewellery or homeware, among myriad other treasures. We also have some unique Christmas decorations you’re bound to love.
Prefer to shop from home? Remember, our online store is also overflowing with exclusive treats, from gorgeous soft toys and candles to celebratory hampers and more.
With so much going on at The Packhouse, we’re looking forward to welcoming you as everyone’s favourite time of year draws near. Get in touch if you have any questions about our late-night shopping events.
