A FESTIVE fun skate is set to pull in the pounds for charity this Christmas.

Absolutely Offices will be holding a festive fun skate on December 13 and 14 to raise money for three charities - Heartburn Cancer UK, Relate and Naomi House.

The two day event will take place at the offices, in Chineham Court, between 10am and 4pm, and will include the opportunity to skate on a small artificial ice rink.

Other activities on offer include stalls selling homemade items, refreshments, fun-filled games such as lucky dip and the chance to meet a real-life donkey.

Prices per skating session are £5 per adult, £4 per child and £15 for a family ticket which includes two adults and two children.

Beryl Huntingdon, managing director of Absolutely Offices, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to support this exciting event. Not only will it raise awareness and much needed funds for three very worthwhile charities, it will also be a fun event for the local community.

“We are delighted with the support we have already received but would welcome offers of help, or donations, to help make this event a success.

"Finally, don't forget to come along and have a skate, meet Tinsel the donkey and Twinkle the Christmas turkey (not destined for the table) as well as visiting the other festive attractions.”
