Blackwell’s Christmas Shopping Fundraiser Evening with Creation Theatre

We are thrilled to announce that we be holding a Christmas Shopping Fundraiser Evening, in aid of Creation Theatre, on Thursday 20th December from 6 till 9pm.

Along with Creation Theatre, we invite you to buy those last minute Christmas presents, at our late-night shopping extravaganza.  Not only will we be opening later on this night, we’ll also be providing the mince pies and wine for you to get into the Christmas spirit while you browse.

Following the wettest summer in 100 years, and a 50% drop in tourism to Oxford, Creation currently finds itself in great need of support to fund their future. Despite their best efforts, the bad weather has meant that unless they are able to raise £50,000 by the end of the year, they will be unable to proceed with plans for any more shows after their current Christmas show, ‘Aladdin and the Magical Lamp.’ It would be a great loss to the Oxford community if this happened, and so for this evening 20% of all book sales will go towards Creation Theatre.

They will also have a box-office set up on the night, so you can get your tickets to their current Christmas show, ‘Aladdin and the Magical Lamp’.

So join us on Thursday from 6pm, not only to get in some more Christmas shopping before the big day, but also to support one of Oxford’s most-loved institutions.

 Aladdin and the Magical Lamp

Thursday 6th December 2012 to Saturday 5th January 2013

The North Wall Arts Centre, Summertown Oxford

If you had three wishes, what would you wish for? This Christmas, Creation Theatre will whisk you away on a magic carpet ride with peasant boy Aladdin, Princess Badr-al-Budur, and a couple of mischievous, magical genies. Along the way you’ll encounter evil scorcerors, secret caves and an enchanted lamp, in this age-old tale of adventure that everyone can enjoy.

Tickets: £13.50 – £25. Box Office: 01865766266. Or book online at www.creationtheatre.co.uk.

    Thanks to all our customers, staff and lovely Creation folk we raised over £1,000 tonight. A fantastic effort and inspiration to redouble efforts…
