Exe-Mas Wonderland at Westpoint
A spectacular drive-through winter wonderland is coming to Exeter’s Westpoint Indoor Arena this Christmas.
Local business, Re:Fuel, will be creating the unique experience for families from all over the South West to enjoy. The company, well known for their “cars and coffee” style events in the South West, has had to close for most of the year due to Covid-19. So, they decided, rather than using the furlough scheme this Christmas, to use their event skills to spread some much-needed Christmas spirit and raise some money for a local charity. The ticket profits will go to the Exeter Homeless Partnership, whose mission is to change how homelessness is addressed across our City.
The fully immersive wonderland will include reindeer stables, elves’ workshop, white winter scenery, Santa’s grotto and more (and all from the safety of your car to be fully COVID safe!). It really will be a unique experience for those lucky enough to get hold of one of the limited number of tickets on offer. In fact, the only other drive-through wonderland of its type in the world can be found in Los Angeles, USA.
Dan Regan, Managing Director of Re:Fuel, said: “It’s been such a tough year for everyone, so we thought what better way to finish the year than with a unique and spectacular, COVID-safe Christmas event. Something that brings everyone together and benefits the local community, local charities, and local businesses.”
Hanna Mepstead, Project Lead on the event, said: “I’m really honoured to be raising money for such amazing charities and causes, as well as creating something genuinely different and quirky for our communities. We’ve had an incredible amount of support already and it’s lovely to see it all coming together.”
The event has already had a great response from the local business community including sponsorship partners with three innovative and forward-thinking companies: Helm Tickets, Prydis and Hotel Indigo Exeter.
The experience will be running from Thursday 17th to Sunday 20th December, and tickets are available now by clicking here.
Re:Fuel are also looking for local companies who would like to get involved, make donations, or supply equipment for the event. If you or your business are able to help then please contact hanna@re-fuel.co.uk
