Praise pours in for Melbry Events’ grottos

Published:  17 January, 2012

Events specialists Melbry Events have won two national accolades for the quality of their Christmas grottos in the retail arena.

The team behind Melbry Events, which counts Westfield, Jones Lang LaSalle and Liverpool One among its clients, were awarded five out of five for Santa’s Ice Palace Grotto at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, as voted for by the public in The Sun’s Great or grotty grotto? on December 8.

The grotto incorporated Melbry’s signature 4D animation film, Rocket’s Sleigh Adventure, starring Rocket the Reindeer.   

And just before Christmas, Melbry Events topped the polls in a Facebook campaign for Britain’s Greatest Grotto for their installation at Selfridges in London - designed and built by Well Pleased Events.  

Melbry Events managing director, Melanie Hurley, said: “It’s great to see that all our hard work has paid off. Our aim is to create something magical and I’m pleased and proud to have won two major national awards.”
