Approval to appoint under Contract Standing
Order 8.02 for a supplier to help deliver festive events in
partnership with the borough’s Traders Associations across
November and December 2021 using Welcome Back Fund grant.
The event will be delivered by Pickled Pepper Books Ltd, to provide
Santa and Elves within Christmas Grottos, in the following town
centres:
• Muswell Hill – 20 November
• Turnpike Lane – 2 December
• Tottenham (Holcombe Mkt) – 3-4 December
• Myddleton Road – 5 December
The event will involve a Storytime with Santa, on the hour, for up
to 15 children, followed by a meet and greet with Santa. Every
child receives an age-appropriate wrapped book, carefully selected
for quality. Elves will assist with drumming up interest and
creating a spectacle on the day.
Pickled Pepper Books previously ran an in-house, socially distanced
grotto, every weekend in December 2020. The aim is to improve
children’s literacy skills at this popular time of year in a
fun environment.
