THOUSANDS of people were treated to a scrumptious surprise at the weekend as as the Fenwick's Newcastle Christmas window was unveiled by children from The Great North Children’s Hospital.
As snow fell from the rooftop, 2019’s window was revealed to be a candy-coloured creation – inspired by Roald Dahl’s much-loved novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
This year shoppers are invited to explore Willy Wonka’s, from juicing rooms and chocolate waterfalls to great glass elevators and the awe-inspiring factory gates.
Carl Milton, store director at Fenwick Newcastle, said: “We’re thrilled to unveil this year’s animated display inspired by the magic of one of our favourite storytellers, Roald Dahl."
Sarah Read, partnerships manager at The Roald Dahl Story Company, said: “The story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has captured the imagination of children and adults alike for many years.
We are elated to see it bought to life so beautifully this Christmas in partnership with Fenwick."
