Christmas arrives at Glossop Station

25/11/2024

CHRISTMAS has arrived a little earlier than in previous years - along with the trains - at Glossop Station!
So far the station is graced with a most attractive Christmas tree kindly and generously donated by Glossop Garden Centre which, after only two days, has already drawn many compliments. Alongside the LED lights local children's hand-made decorations created from past festive art work sessions at the station have been included. A Christmas star kindly provided by Linda Newman, founder of FOGS, will be placed at the top of the tree this weekend.
Also in place nine festive Christmas flower arrangements in the window boxes created by Pat, Chris and Jean from Glossop Gardeners. Over the next week or so we will add Christmas wreaths and garlands to complete the displays.
Our thanks to Theo McLauchlan, our line manager at Northern, for permission to put up up these decorations. To John and Pete for a lot of hard work getting the tree in place and erecting the compound.. And to Mike at TWIG for his support.
​We hope you enjoy these Christmas decorations when you visit the station.

FoGS extends a warm welcome to High Peak based artist Helen Gerrard whose work is now on display in the Waiting Room Art Gallery at Glossop Station.
Helen's work is widely known in the area and we are delighted she has decided to present some of her work at the station. Helen's pieces are colourful imaginative recreations of some of Glossop's best known buildings such as Partington Theatre. All feature an animal too! As one viewer said today," They are fun!" Do come and have a look. The pictures can be viewed daily from early morning to early evening.
All the pictures can be bought. To contact Helen email [email protected]
Examples of Helen's work can also be found at Glossop Craft Centre or click here to visit here Facebook page
Our thanks as always to John Kimpton for his help and expertise in setting up these displays with the artists. If you are interested in having a display at the station please contact John on 01457 859128
