N E W S C H R I S T M A S S H O P P I N G E V E N T Eat, drink, be merry – and buy all your gifts at our festive late night opening! NOTE TO ELF C hristmas is by far our busiest time of year, both in our shop and online. As soon as the shop gets bedecked with seasonal decorations the countdown to the big day begins. One of the highlights in this run-up is our late night opening event. This year’s event takes place on Thursday 8th December. Nothing gets you in the festive spirit better than listening to carols played by the local town band while nibbling on a mince pie and sipping mulled wine. It’s the perfect time to get your gifts for the whole family. Whether you are looking at presents for coffee lovers, wine lovers, bakers or cooks, we’ve got all the bases covered. Recipe books, kitchen appliances, knives and cake decorations all make great presents too. It’s also a good time to stock up on extra equipment ready for Christmas dinner – gravy jugs, carving trays, roasting pans etc. If you are entertaining over the Christmas period, make sure you have enough glasses, cutlery, plates and napkins. There are also lots of other non-cooking gift ideas available in-store. DIY dads (and mums) are well catered for in our trade and decorating departments and fashion conscious mums are easy to buy for in our extensive clothing department that includes leading brands Joules and Seasalt. Finally, as well as being able to buy your Christmas tree from the garden shop opposite, we stock an amazing selection of tree and room decorations to add the finishing touches to your home, plus cards, wrapping paper and the all-important Sellotape. Head into Harts on Thursday 8th December for carols, mulled wine and mince pies while you find presents to fill foodie stockings. 10 www.hartsofstur.com Blow away the cobwebs in a classic car as part of our New Year’s Day vintage vehicle run. COOL RUNNINGS H arts of Stur are proud sponsors of the New Year’s Day Vintage and Classic Vehicle Run. Organised by members of the Weymouth Vehicle Preservation Society, the run raises valuable money for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.

Fingers crossed for fine weather, as the last few years have been pretty wet!
