LSH Auto to raise funds for local charities at Christmas event

Mercedes-Benz of Stockport, the dealer group’s flagship showroom, will be transformed into a winter wonderland from 4pm to 8pm on Thursday, November 21 and a special guest will perform the big Christmas Lights switch-on at 6.30pm.

The Christie will have a stall at the event selling a range of Christmas cards to support the enhanced services it provides. Gifts from the public make a huge difference to the care and treatment that The Christie provides to patients and their families over and above the NHS funding.

Stockport County will have a stall raising money for its Kits by County campaign, which provides PE kits to Stockport’s primary school pupils in a bid to encourage the borough’s youngsters to be more active and engaged in PE. Stockport County’s mascot, Vernon Bear, will be upstairs in the BYD Fun Zone, challenging budding footballers to ‘Beat the Keeper’.

The BYD Fun Zone will include racing simulators, a 360-camera booth, face painting, a meet and greet with Princess Elsa, and a magic mirror experience. LSH Auto stalls will be selling sweets, hot chocolate, tea, coffee, mulled wine and prosecco, with all proceeds going to the two charities.

There will also be a raffle with some great prizes on offer including a Stockport County football shirt signed by every player and a variety of perfect Christmas gifts donated by the attending stallholders.

Alongside the full range of Mercedes-Benz, smart and BYD vehicles displayed in the showroom, local, artisan businesses will be showcasing a range of perfect gifts from festive food, confectionary and Stockport Gin to handmade crafts, luxury fragrances – including Lauren Stone Collections, beauty products, winter fashion, pet accessories, jewellery and art.

In addition to the Christmas market, festive entertainment will be laid on for visitors, with something for all the family and including an opportunity to meet Father Christmas and feed his reindeer.

Performances from local school choirs, dance companies, and bands will include St Ambrose Prep School Choir and Steel Pot Band, Alderley Edge School for Girls Senior Choir, MCR Dance Academy and Sale Brass Band.

Stefan Bowett, Dealer Principal of Mercedes-Benz of Stockport, said: “We’re kicking off the festive season in style and looking forward to welcoming new and old customers to our event on Thursday.

"We’re delighted to be raising money for our local charity partners and supporting artisan businesses in the run up to Christmas. It’s set to be a truly magical evening that will get us all into the festive spirit.”
