Santa's grotto at Bridgemere Garden World
This year, Christmas comes to Cheshire early! Bridgemere Garden World is holding a Santa's Grotto from 14 November - 23 December.
RNIB staff and volunteers will be manning the Grotto for the six weeks leading up to Christmas. For just £5, Santa will read children a story and then meet each child individually to give them a gift.
50 per cent of the entrance money will be donated to RNIB.

Organise your own Blindfold bowling night
Looking for employee fundraising ideas or want to raise money for RNIB with your organisation, club, friends or family? Why not organise a Blindfold bowling night at your local ten pin bowling alley.
Take inspiration from Oldbury and Cruickshank Opticians in Macclesfield, who supported RNIB with their annual Blindfold bowling competition for the third year running this October. They've raised over £6,000 for RNIB to date - and had lots of fun in the process!
If you would to organise your own Blindfold bowling night in the North West, please email
