The Guild of Christmas

This December, Santa and his trusty band of snow elves are bringing the Guild of Christmas to Gloucester. This is Santa's special team with a big mission ahead of the big day - to find all the ways to make Christmas as Christmassy as it can be. With them in our city, we need you to come and help them achieve that mission!
