Jasmin Limb from The Original Factory Shop in Horley said: “Nick came to us as his son had broken his arm and had to spend the night in hospital. To help put a smile of his face when he returned home and take away some of the pain… even if just for a few minutes… we used our Party Range to re-create the house from his favourite Disney film – Up!”

“With many children unable to celebrate special occasions with family and friends due to lockdown restrictions, parents are still looking for ways to make these occasions extra special for them. Our Party Range helps to do this, bringing a sense of joy to customers.”

The Original Factory Shop’s Party Shop range is now available in 100 stores.
