Accompanied by representatives from The Grand Pier, the Grinch spent quality time with each and every child, creating memorable moments that will surely be cherished by both the young patients and their families. 
 
 
To amplify their visit, The Grand Pier donated an impressive 170 gifts to Bristol Children's Hospital, symbolising the 170 hospital beds within the building. The gifts, ranging from monster trucks and cuddly toys to engaging board games and action figures, were carefully selected to bring joy and entertainment to children of all ages.
 
This gift-giving initiative was made possible through the generous funding and support of the Axentis Michael Charity Trust, an organisation committed to making a positive impact in the local community. The trust's donation aimed to elevate the festive experience for young patients at Bristol Children's Hospital.
 

 
Kerry Michael, Trustee and owner of The Grand Pier, expressed the importance of giving back to the community, especially during the festive season. "The Grand Pier is committed to spreading joy and happiness, and what better way to do so than by bringing the magic of the season to the children at Bristol Children's Hospital” said Kerry Michael.

The visit from the Grinch and the generous gift donation not only brightened the day for the children at Bristol Children's Hospital but also highlighted The Grand Pier's dedication to making positive memories for families. 
 
The Grinch has now returned to the Grotto at The Grand Pier to complete the Grinch Grotto Takeover, which takes place on the 16th, 17th, 21st, and 22nd of December 2023. If you haven’t booked a visit to see the Grinch this year, don't worry— he'll be back next year!
