We love Party Time!

6th May 2011

To celebrate Easter and the Royal Wedding, we gave away 1000s of virtual Party Bags with BOGOF vouchers to our customers... and we called it ‘Party Time!’

To celebrate Easter and the Royal Wedding, we gave away 1000s of virtual Party Bags with BOGOF vouchers to our customers... and we called it ‘Party Time!’

As part of the fun, we asked ‘who would you invite to a party and why?’ There were over 40,000 answers submitted!! 57% said they would invite friends, 33% said they would invite family and 10% said they would invite someone famous. This is just a taste of some of our favourite answers:

“My friend because he's been going through a rough time and I know greggs goodies will cheer him up!”

“I would invite my entire family and have the best party ever. sausage rolls, lemon drizzle donuts yummers”

“I'd invite johnny depp! fwoooaaaaar!!!”

“I would invite my husband because sharing is caring and I love him!”

“Billie-Jo Armstrong from Green Day, he can sing to me over a Greggs Pastie!”

Thanks to the Community Stars

As well as giving out virtual Party Bags and Vouchers, we also took the opportunity to thank the real stars of the show at this time of year - and that’s the Community Stars who had to work, keeping the country going, while so many people had the chance to party.

So we launched an online search to find deserving groups who were missing out on the Royal Wedding celebrations. Your nominations flooded in and worthy groups across the country were chosen to receive an impromptu party with Greggs food to thank them for their services.

We delivered delicious Greggs Party Platters - and a lot of smiles - to 12 deserving groups who had to work on the Royal Wedding Bank Holiday.

The 12 Community Stars who received Party Platters were:

  1. Bathgate Fire Station, Boghall
  2. Bathgate Fire Station, Boghall

  3. Neurosurgical Ward, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham
  4. Harrogate Fire Service
  5. Newcarron Court Nursing Centre, Falkirk
  6. Malcolm Sargent House, Prestwick
  7. Chichester Court
  8. Botolphs Ward at Worthing Hospital
  9. Swindon Great Western Ambulance Station
  10. South Yorkshire Police Dog Training
  11. Hull Animal Welfare Trust
  12. Bybrook Nursing Home
  13. Moortown Fire Station
