Overview

Kent, 1953. The Woolworths Erith store, a beloved cornerstone of the community, faces closure if the December turnover fails to increase. And, as if store manager Betty Billington doesn't have enough on her plate, personnel shortages and a troublesome new employee add to the strife. With Christmas on the horizon, Betty and her staff must strive to find solutions to improve business and keep the store running - from special events for late-night customers to a festive group trip into central London. The Erith Players pantomime also promises to draw a crowd, injecting excitement into the local community. With the store festooned with decorations, lifting the spirits of customers and Betty, can a Christmas miracle save their beloved store? A Christmas Wish at Woolworths is the next instalment in Elaine Everest's much-loved Woolworths series - a heartfelt tale of resilience, community and an unwavering spirit during hard times.
