The Pantiles launches new charity partnership with Taylor-Made Dreams for its 2026 Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The Pantiles is delighted to announce Taylor-Made Dreams as its new nominated charity, beginning a new relationship that will launch during this year’s Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The new partnership will see The Pantiles work alongside Taylor-Made Dreams throughout the festive season, with fundraising and awareness activities forming an important part of the estate’s Christmas programme and its New Year’s Eve celebrations, as The Pantiles welcomes visitors to celebrate the arrival of 2027.
Taylor-Made Dreams is a Tunbridge Wells-based charity dedicated to supporting children with life-limiting illnesses and their families.
The charity enables magical experiences and lasting memories for children who face unimaginable challenges, helping families spend precious time together and create memories that can be treasured for years to come.
The Pantiles has long been a place where the local community comes together to enjoy experiences, celebrate special occasions and make memories, making the new relationship a natural fit.
The Pantiles’ Christmas programme provides a fitting opportunity to introduce the new partnership, with the historic estate once again transformed for the festive season.
From the Boutique Christmas Market, Christmas lights and decorations to live entertainment, the Big Reveal and Nutcracker Trail, there will be plenty for visitors to enjoy before the celebrations culminate in The Pantiles’ New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Throughout the festive campaign, visitors will be encouraged to support Taylor-Made Dreams and learn more about the important work the charity undertakes for children and families.
We are delighted to welcome Taylor-Made Dreams as our new nominated charity. The Pantiles has always been about bringing people together, creating memorable experiences and being part of the wider Tunbridge Wells community, so this partnership feels like a natural fit. Christmas is a particularly special time of year, and we hope that by working with Taylor-Made Dreams throughout our festive season and New Year’s Eve celebrations, we can help raise both valuable funds and awareness of the incredible work they do for children and their families.”
The Pantiles is such a loved part of the Tunbridge Wells community, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to reach even more people with the story of Taylor-Made Dreams through this partnership. We can’t wait to work together to bring new and exciting events to the local community, whilst supporting TMD families with each one.
For families living with a child’s life-limiting illness, creating precious memories and moments of happiness can mean so much. We are incredibly grateful to The Pantiles, its businesses, visitors and wider community for supporting our work, and we’re excited to see what we can achieve together throughout the Christmas season and into 2027.
We are so pleased to have been chosen as The Pantiles’ nominated charity and to begin this special partnership during such an important and magical time of year.”
While the partnership will launch during the Christmas and New Year celebrations, the relationship will continue beyond the festive period, with The Pantiles looking to develop further opportunities throughout 2027.
The partnership will provide opportunities to engage The Pantiles’ tenants, businesses, visitors and wider community, helping raise awareness of Taylor-Made Dreams while generating valuable support for the charity and the families it works with.
We wanted to work with a charity whose values and work could genuinely connect with our visitors, tenants and local community. Taylor-Made Dreams does extraordinary work, creating moments of happiness and treasured memories for children and families during incredibly difficult circumstances. Launching the relationship during Christmas and New Year gives us a wonderful opportunity to introduce the charity to the many thousands of people who visit The Pantiles during the festive season. We’re looking forward to working closely with the Taylor-Made Dreams team and creating a partnership that can grow throughout 2027.”
The Pantiles will announce further details of its fundraising activities and opportunities for visitors and businesses to support Taylor-Made Dreams as part of the forthcoming Christmas and New Year campaign.
Taylor-Made Dreams enables children with life-limiting illnesses, aged between 3 and 18 and living in the South-East of England, to achieve their dreams when time is precious.
Taylor-Made Dreams aims to enable children and their families to experience unique quality time and experiences together, which otherwise may not have been possible without support from its services. Alongside wish fulfilment, Taylor-Made Dreams provides nine other essential services to ensure families are financially and emotionally cared for throughout their difficult journey.
