This Christmas, Eden Shopping Centre invites you and your little ones to spread festive cheer in a heartwarming and eco-friendly way!

Join Mrs. Claus and her magical team of Eco Elves from Saturday 30th November to Tuesday 24th December for a festive experience that’s all about giving. Children can trade in a pre-loved teddy for a brand new cuddly companion thanks to an Eden’s ‘magic machine’. Don’t have a teddy to trade? No problem! Spare teddies will be on hand and every child will get the chance to personalise their new friend’s Christmas jumper and receive a birth certificate for their bear.

In the true spirit of Christmas, every pre-loved teddy will be donated to Stokenchurch Dog Rescue, where they’ll bring comfort and joy to rescue dogs waiting for their forever homes. And as if all that wasn’t enough, 100% of ticket sales from the event will go towards supporting The Heart of Bucks Community Foundation, making this event a true celebration of community and kindness.

Discussing the event, Rebecca Gomme, Eden Shopping Centre’s Marketing Manager, said:  “We’re so excited to welcome back our Eco Elves! This year’s Teddy Trade is a wonderful way for children to experience the joy of giving while learning about sustainability. It’s proof that even small actions—like upcycling a teddy—can make a big difference. Mrs. Claus can’t wait to meet everyone and create some truly magical memories!”

Don’t miss this chance to make memories, spread joy, and embrace the magic of giving this Christmas at Eden! For more information visit www.edenshopping.co.uk/events/the-eco-elves-teddy-trade/
