Merry Christmas from House of Dorchester
Festive basket by Miles - age 4
In the run up to Christmas we have been running a Christmas competition via our factory shop. Since November customers far and wide have been picking up baskets from our shop manager Joan, making a donation for each basket, and returning the baskets for judging by our chocolatiers. Now we are proud to announce the lucky winners! Drum roll…
First prize: Eileen Lewis
Second prize: Wilma Goldstone
Third prize: S. McLuckie
We received some adorable kids entries and awarded surprise prizes of handmade chocolate santas to Miles Clarke, Morgan Pitfield and Sandra.
We are pleased to announce we raised £30 for Dorset West Country Hospital’s Boost charity 2011 digital mamography appeal. In addition to this, we have also stayed true to our values to do to the right thing to look after the environment and, rather than send out Christmas cards, we have again this year donated £500 to The Children’s Trust, a national children’s charity that relies entirely on the support of the community to provide the specialist therapy, education and residential care to children who have had a brain injury.
To donate yourself to either of these charities please visit:

Our offices will re-open on 3rd January 2012. Any orders placed through our online shop over the festive period will now be dispatched on 3rd January.
We would like to wish all our customers a very merry Christmas!
