This week at The Gap (Midlands), we’ve been full of festive cheer! We kicked things off by diving into the Christmas spirit with a joyful crafts session bursting with creativity. Wednesday was party time, complete with our Christmas celebration, special awards delivered by the Gap elves, and plenty of pizza to go around. We wrapped up the week with some friendly festive competition, putting our knowledge to the test in a Christmas quiz and showing off our skills in a gingerbread challenge. A truly magical week from start to finish! All the team at The Gap would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year! πŸŽ„ Keep your eyes peeled to see what the team get up to over Christmas and opening times for 2026!
