Snow White enchants at Hospice shop

19th February 2020

Things were anything but Grimm when the Princess Alice Hospice shop in East Molesey was transformed into a fairytale land of dancing animals and romance.

It was a specially themed Snow White day which saw customers drawn into a magical realm of woodland wonder, a tale of jealousy and love, tempting arrays of cakes – and a host of colourful characters including seven remarkably small diamond miners.

The far from Grumpy staff dressed up as the main characters from the Brothers Grimm story, welcoming customers into the magical scene. Centrepiece was a fabulous bed made up in the shop window, a magic mirror and wood.

Four enthusiastic volunteers from nearby HSBC branches collected donations and sold delicious cakes which had been freshly baked and donated for the occasion.

The Hospice was left feeling Happy from the boost in takings; several customers weren’t Bashful – they turned up in fairytale attire themselves.
