Charity Christmas cards, festive gifts and stocking fillers are now on sale at the Tourist Information Centre (TIC) in Church Street.
In addition to Christmas cards and stamps, the centre has a range of seasonal items including Advent calendars, candles, wrapping paper, gift tags and gift bags. “There are also Melksham Christmas cards, hand-painted by a local artist, which you might like to send to that special friend or family member,” said a spokesperson for the TIC.
“New this Christmas are Melksham candles by Kat Bujak of Floral Flames, along with eco-friendly bunting and gift tags from Eco Bunting. The centre also has books available, including The Sesquicentennial of Forest and Sandridge CE Primary School—a great stocking filler—as well as Around Melksham in Old Photographs, Melksham’s War and Melksham Remembers World War 1 Exhibition books.”
Original artwork by Richard Bill is also available, along with prints from the centre’s resident card makers.
“So, next time you are in town, don’t stand in a queue at the Post Office to buy stamps—pop over the road to the Tourist Information Centre, where you will receive a friendly welcome from the staff, who look forward to seeing you while you browse at leisure in the warmth, without the hassle!” the spokesperson said.
