Crafty Wednesdays and Christmas Treats
This December, Strudwicks Coffee Shop is spreading Christmas cheer with two exciting family initiatives running throughout the month: Christmas Kids Treats and Crafty Wednesdays - Christmas Magic Every Week .
Christmas Kids Treats
Starting December 1st every child visiting Strudwicks will receive a complimentary festive treat: a warming hot chocolate topped with marshmallows and a delicious Christmas gingerbread biscuit, it’s our way of saying we are ForMiltonKeynes😊
There's no catch, no minimum purchase required - simply bring your children in during our opening hours and they'll receive their free Christmas treat while stocks last. It's our way of saying thank you to the families who make our community special .
"We wanted to create something simple but meaningful this Christmas," says Melissa, the coffee shop manager "Every child deserves a little magic during the holidays, and sometimes that magic comes in the form of hot chocolate and gingerbread shared with family."
The Christmas Kids Treats initiative runs every day we're open throughout December - Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 3:30pm. (whilst stock lasts)
Crafty Wednesdays - Christmas Magic Every Week
Complementing our daily treats programme, Wednesdays in December become extra special with Crafty Wednesdays - Christmas Magic Every Week.
Every Wednesday throughout December, children can participate in hands-on Christmas craft activities designed to spark creativity and create festive keepsakes to take home.
The December Schedule:
- Wednesday, December 3: Christmas ornament making and decoration
- Wednesday, December 10: Festive paper chain building
- Wednesday, December 17: Make your own Christmas placemat (final session before Christmas)
Each Crafty Wednesday runs during our regular hours (8:30am-3:30pm), with craft stations set up and ready for families who drop in. All materials are provided, and of course, every child still receives their complimentary hot chocolate and gingerbread.
A Welcoming Space for Families
Both initiatives reflect Strudwicks' commitment to being more than just a coffee shop - we're a community gathering place where families can relax, create memories, and enjoy the simple pleasures of the season.
"December can be overwhelming with shopping lists, school events, and family commitments," explains Nicola the Operations Director. "We want to offer a calm, welcoming environment where parents can enjoy quality coffee while their children engage in creative activities or simply savour a warm treat."
Whether you're looking for a crafting activity on Wednesdays or just want to treat your children to free hot chocolate and gingerbread, Strudwicks is ready to welcome you.
