Lush Swansea: Grinch Kids Parties for Christmas Parade

Lush Cosmetics Swansea is hosting its Grinch Kids Parties on Sunday 22 November, as part of the shop's Christmas Light Parade celebrations. The whole thing is built around the Grinch, so it's a good one if you've got kids who're already into the character. Each session is 45 minutes long and runs on interactive games, Lush-inspired adventures and party games, with the kids doing the making themselves rather than just watching.

Everyone leaves with a few things they've put together during the party: a hand-made Grinch bath bomb, a mouldable Grinch mini-creature made with Lush's Rainbow FUN, and a Grinch goodie bag. The parties are for ages 5 and over, and under-16s need a guardian with them, while over-16s don't. It's a hands-on sort of thing, so it works best for kids who like getting stuck into making something rather than just sitting and listening.

There's a bit of context worth knowing too: these parties are part of the wider Christmas Light Parade celebrations Lush is running in Swansea, and the Grinch is the central figure. Because the first one filled up, they've added a second party to the line-up, doubling the original programme. If you're planning to bring the kids, it's worth keeping in mind that it's a timed session rather than a drop-in, so you'll want to be there for the start.

The party runs on Sunday 22 November from 11:00 AM at Lush Cosmetics Swansea, 808 Oxford Street, SA1 3AF. It's £15 per participant.
