🎅🎄 THE SHIP INN CHRISTMAS FUNDRAISER – LET’S SPREAD SOME CHRISTMAS CHEER! 🎄🎅
This year, we’re doing things a little differently, and we need YOU to help us make it something truly special! ❤️
Throughout the whole of November, you’ll see our amazing staff getting involved in football cards, bingo games, karaoke competitions and plenty more, all with one big goal in mind: to raise as much money as possible for our local community! 🎁🎄
Instead of our usual annual regulars’ Christmas and Secret Santa with staff party, we’re bringing everyone together for one BIG fundraising afternoon! 🥳
📅 THURSDAY 10TH DECEMBER
⏰ 4PM–8PM
📍 THE SHIP INN
🎤 Disco & karaoke
🍽️ Food
🎯 Plenty of games
😂 Lots of laughs
🎅 And the most ridiculous Christmas fancy dress you’ve ever seen!
Yes, you read that right! ALL of our staff, along with some of our brave participating regulars, will be getting dressed up in the silliest, funniest and most outrageous Christmas costumes they can find! 🤣🎅🦌
But behind all the fun, there’s a really special reason for doing this. ❤️
Every penny raised will go towards hand-making Christmas hampers that we’ll distribute throughout our local community and to the wonderful people who have helped us in some way over the past year.
We’re talking school dinner ladies, librarians, doctors’ receptionists, care home workers, lollipop ladies who help our children get to school safely, and so many other amazing people who often go unnoticed but make such a difference every single day. ❤️👏
We want to give something back, show our appreciation and spread as much Christmas cheer as we possibly can. Because Christmas is about kindness, community and looking after one another. 🎄❤️
Now, we have a few VERY important questions for you all… 👀👇
🎅 1. WILL YOU BE JOINING US IN FANCY DRESS?
We want to see your best, worst and downright ridiculous Christmas costumes!
🎤 2. HAVE YOU GOT YOUR DABBERS READY AND YOUR VOICES PREPPED TO SCREAM “HOUSE!”?
Because we’re planning plenty of bingo, karaoke and games, and we want the place rocking!
😂 3. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY… HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE NEED TO RAISE TO CONVINCE MR JOHN ELLIOT AND JAMIE CASSIDY TO PUT ON A CHRISTMAS COSTUME?! 🤣🎅
Come on, Ship Inn family… surely we can find a price for those two! 👀😂
Let’s get behind this, have a brilliant afternoon and show our local community just how much a little pub with a big heart can do. ❤️
🎄 EVERY GAME PLAYED, EVERY SONG SUNG AND EVERY PENNY RAISED WILL HELP US SPREAD A LITTLE MORE CHRISTMAS MAGIC! 🎄
👇 COMMENT BELOW! Tell us if you’re coming, what costume you’ll be wearing, and what target we need to hit to get John and Jamie dressed up!
Let’s make this Christmas one to remember! ❤️🎅
LOVE FROM ALL OF US AT THE SHIP INN ⚓❤️
