Rutherfords and Sanderson Arcade link up for a magical Morpeth Christmas!

12 November 2024

The team at Sanderson Arcade and Morpeth’s much loved Rutherford’s Department Store are partnering to deliver some fabulous festive events for this year’s Christmas season. 

Rutherford’s is well known in the region for Christmas gifting as well as the store’s beautiful festive window display which will be launched for 2024 on Saturday 16th November. 

And this year the team at the department store are also working with the Arcade on some traditional festive events – including Hot Chocolate with Santa Claus, which takes place on Saturday 30th November and Saturday 14th December from 10:30am – 12:30pm. 

Customers need to purchase a Ticket from Central Bean ahead of Santa’s visit and tickets will go on sale from Wednesday November 13th. Only November tickets are available, with December tickets available from Sunday December 1st. 

The store is also supporting a festive visit from Santa’s Reindeers at the Arcade which takes place on Sunday December 15th.

Rutherford’s is extending the store’s opening hours through December, in the run up to Christmas and will be open 10:00am-4:00pm December 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd.

Chris Mitchell, of Rutherford’s, said: “We are delighted to be working together with Sanderson Arcade on some really great events for Christmas 2024.

“Christmas in Morpeth is always lovely and this year we want to really shout about what the whole town has to offer, why would you want to shop anywhere else apart from our lovely town!” 

Sanderson Arcade celebrates its 15th anniversary this year – since opening in the town the centre has always worked closely with other stakeholders and businesses in the town.

Centre Manager Lottie Thompson said: “We are really lucky in Morpeth to have a great department store alongside Sanderson Arcade, and we’re delighted to be working together on some exciting Christmas plans in the coming weeks. 

“Morpeth always looks beautiful at Christmas, with the stunning Rutherfords window and along with our Christmas lights at the Arcade and the wider town centre - we can’t wait for the decorations to go up.”
