Step into Christmas at Charlies Cheltenham this November 2026, with Santa and his elves, live music, food tasters and special offers to take advantage of – including the chance to win your basket – at the store's Big Christmas Weekend event.
What to expect at Charlies Cheltenham's Big Christmas Weekend
Charlies Cheltenham is inviting families to celebrate the start of the Christmas period with a fun-filled festive weekend on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026.
Santa and his 'cheeky' elves will be in store, so children can meet him and have their photo taken, and some may even take home a small gift.
While visitors can also sample delicious festive treats while exploring the store with free food tasters, enjoy live music and festive entertainment, and add some extra sparkle with fun glitter tattoos.
Throughout the weekend, customers have 15 chances to get their entire basket of shopping absolutely free, with the Tewkesbury Road store giving away a free basket every hour.
And on top of that, Charlies is offering 'incredible' savings across the store all weekend, including on every Christmas product – with trees, lights, decorations, and everything for hosting at Christmas, plus gifts for all the family, with great value on clothing, footwear, garden, tools, DIY and more.
Hollie Clark, store manager at Charlies Cheltenham, said: 'Every hour, someone is going to get to the till and find out their basket is on us, and we can't wait to see their faces. Cheltenham has given us such a warm welcome in our first year, and this weekend is our way of saying thank you.
'When it comes to Christmas, you won't find better than Charlies. The tree, the lights, the presents, everything for Christmas dinner: it's all under one roof at our best prices, with a team who are always happy to help. Our advice is to come early, because when the best buys are gone, they're gone.'
