A spokesman for the venues said: “We’ve played just one part in a much bigger campaign, so a big thanks to Ella Roberts, the Burnley Together team and everyone else involved.”
The venues who pitched in to support the appeal were: Hidden, Mojitos, Smackwater Jacks, Bootleggers, The Swan, The White Lion, The Inn On The Wharf, The Royal Dyche, Penny Black, Remedy, Coalyard, The Boot Inn, New Brew, Sanctuary, Paparazzi, Oskars, Off The Record, Circ, The Big Window, Mr Greens, The Turf and The Corkhouse.
The spokesman added: “A big thank you goes out to all the venues who supported this and the businesses that helped us stretch the budget a little bit further. Being able to bring a smile to a child this Christmas is a fantastic cause, and we’d encourage anyone who can to reach out to Burnley Together to see how they can support their campaigns.
“We’ll certainly be joining in again next year."
