Beanstalk Toys Transforms Into a Scene from Willy Wonka
2nd Annual Celebration Takes Place on Saturday, December 14th, 10am-1pm
After the success of its inaugural event in 2018, Beanstalk Toys, the North Shore’s premier toy, game and book destination, will transform into a scene from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory on Saturday, December 14th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Before the event opens to the public, Beanstalk’s own ‘Candyman’ will open the doors at 9 a.m. for the lucky golden ticket holders that will be anxiously waiting for entry along the roped off red carpet. Once doors open, the lucky Wonka Bar golden ticket holders have one hour to shop.
From now through December13th, children will be given the opportunity to purchase a scrumdiddlyumptious Belgium chocolate Wonka Bar to see if they are one of the lucky winners of a Golden Ticket, with ticket values ranging from $20 to $500. Beanstalk’s Wonka Bars will be available with a limited supply of 1,500. Anyone can purchase a bar for $1.99, with proceeds going to support a local family in need of help this holiday. Wonka Bars will also be given for free with any $100 purchase from now until December 13th, or until supplies last. All Golden Tickets must be redeemed Saturday, December 14th from 9-10 a.m.
Anyone that is not a ticket holder can join the party from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. to meet Willy Wonka, take pictures with an Oompa Loompa who unicycles, juggles and reads to kids, or experience the pure joy of sweets! The FREE event will include a chocolate fountain, cotton candy machine, lollipops and of course Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – the original movie – will be playing!
