Francis House Festival of Trees
When it comes to Christmas trees, more is more especially when they can raise vital funds for charity.
Once again, Lowry Outlet is hosting the fabulous Festival of Trees in aid of the Francis House Children’s Hospice.
From October 27th until December 9th, decorated Christmas trees will be on display and people can make a bid to win their favourite design to take home in time for the big day.
So many organisations have pledged to donate and create a tree such as Lancashire County Cricket Club, Black and Decker, Lowry Outlet, Manchester United Football Club plus many more.
Last year, the festival raised £35,000 for the hospice which helps 350 sick children across Greater Manchester.
