Jumpers can be dropped to the Blessington Tourist Office from now until November 18th

Blessington Tourist Office have partnered with the Blessington and District Forum and Blessington Tidy Towns ahead of the holiday season to host Blessington’s first ever ‘Christmas Jumper Swap Shop!’

The aim of this event is to give new life to Christmas jumpers (adults and children’s) that have been outgrown or are no longer being worn and just collecting dust in the back of wardrobes or hidden away in attics. 

People can drop off their clean and undamaged Christmas Jumpers to Blessington Tourist Office from now until the 18th of November and collect their Swap Shop Voucher. 

People can then come back to visit the Swap Shop in Blessington Tourist Office on November 25th between 10am-2pm to pick out their ‘new’ Christmas Jumper, in time for the arrival of the Santa Truck in Blessington on the evening of November 25th! 

Any Christmas Jumpers still looking for a home after the event will be donated to charity.
