A WOOLSTON pub is putting the sparkle back into Christmas by giving 10 deserving families the chance to spend a festive day together.

Mascrat Manor, on Manchester Road, has asked residents in the town to explain why they can’t spend Christmas day together with their family, in the hope of winning a free early Christmas experience, including a meal.

The Fayre and Square pub will enlist the help of its ‘Fayrie Godmother’ when choosing the lucky winners.

“Christmas is a time for being with the family, but many aren’t lucky enough to spend the festive season with their loved ones,” said general manager of the pub, David Fowler.

“That’s why we have enlisted the help of our generous Fayrie Godmother to offer a tasty serving of festive joy.

“If there are any families in Warrington that can’t be together on Christmas Day then let us know why and our Fayrie Godmother might wave her magic wand to give them a chance to experience a special day with their family in the run up to Christmas - on us.”

The deadline for entrants is Sunday, November 30.
