(Free-Press-Release.com) November 30, 2011 -- On 10 December 2011 between 2 and 4 pm, the High Peak Garden Centre, Hope Road, Bamford, is hosting a Christmas event, with the launch of a new pottery business, a raffle with some fantastic prizes raising funds for Hope and Hathersage Carelines, a chance to help to make a Nativity scene in clay, an appearance from Father Christmas and Gill Shimwell, a local storyteller, a festive menu at the café, and Christmas readings for adults and children.

The Griffin Pottery Studio opens its doors on 10 December for the first time, with the chance for kids to get their hands on some clay, making characters for a nativity scene.
