Utilita Energy Hub In Newport Set To Transform Into Free Santa's Grotto

Santa Claus is coming to town - thanks to the UK’s leading Smart PAYG energy supplier.

Energy supplier, Utilita, will provide a different kind of energy this winter, by hosting sparkling Christmas grottos across the UK.

Utilita’s Energy Hub (located at 121 High Street) will be transformed into a grotto on Saturday December 7.

Attending children will be given a gift completely free of charge and there will also be a festive family photo opportunity.

In the spirit of giving, Utilita is asking every family to bring a non-perishable food item with them if they can.

Gifts are aimed at young children up to the age of 10, but anyone is welcome to meet and take a photo with Santa Claus.

There will be one gift per child, free of charge, while stocks last.

Simon Jackson, Manager at the Newport Hub, said he is hoping the grotto will spread some festive cheer:

“We’re looking forward to welcoming families and children to our energy hub on 7 December.

"Excited tots will get an opportunity to take photos with Santa Claus and receive a free gift between midday and 2pm.

“There’s plenty on offer for visiting adults too – you will be offered a cuppa as well as free and simple energy advice to help make your energy spend go further this winter.

"Visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item – if they can – which will be distributed to the Isle of Wight Food Bank."

Utilita Head of Energy Hubs, Helen Kyne, added:

“We began the roll out of our Energy Hubs in 2018 across the UK to provide a personal touch to our customer service, helping people to better control their energy usage, as well as supporting various community initiatives.

“Unfortunately, we know that another tough winter lies ahead for many and that’s why all visits to our grottos will be completely free.

"During this time of festive giving, we are also collecting items for local food banks, which play such an incredible and vital role in our local communities.”

Utilita’s high street hubs make it super simple to manage your energy – no phone lines or online dashboards, just a friendly face to speak to.
