Stan's Secret Santa at Manchester Museum (3-8 December)

28 Nov 2024

Donate non-perishable Christmas food items, including chocolate selection boxes, biscuits and sweets and clothes for Barnabus and Mustard Tree

Dinosaur Christmas

Stanta Claws is back in town and ready to make our annual Christmas gift appeal truly roar-some.

Our beloved Tyrannosaurus rex, Stan, is putting his Santa hat on once again to deliver festive gifts to people experiencing homelessness and poverty across Manchester.

Stan’s Secret Santa runs from Tuesday 3 December to Sunday 8 December and we’ll be collecting gifts and food to donate to Manchester-based charities Barnabus and Mustard Tree.

Simply head down to the Museum during opening hours on any of those days to deliver donations to Stan and his team of elves. And of course, you can take a selfie with Stanta while you’re here.

We’re looking for donations of new, non-perishable Christmas food items, including chocolate selection boxes, biscuits and sweets, as well as items of clothing. All gifts will be gathered by Stanta’s elves at the end of the appeal and passed to Barnabus and Mustard Tree to help bring a little joy to people experiencing homelessness and poverty.
