THIS Christmas The Lowry Hotel is adding a special touch of magic by making sure that every guest staying at the hotel over Christmas - including around 50 children - will receive a present specially chosen for them. And they need YOUR help!

The hotel is searching for a child to act as a Christmas Consultant to help them to choose gifts just for its younger guests.

On Christmas Eve staff will deliver a personal present stocking to each guest and want to make sure that their younger visitors in particular have a special Christmas away from home.

Consultants should be between the ages of eight and 12 and an expert in what toys are hot this Christmas.

Children who love to shop are invited to write in with a list of their top 10 Christmas gifts to Lisa Baker, Brazen, Virginia House, Great Ancoats Street, Manchester M1 5AD or email lisa@brazenpr.com

One child will then be picked out to accompany the managers of The Lowry Hotel on a dream shopping trip to Manchester's Christmas toy wonderland The Disney Store, where they will choose the Christmas gifts for The Lowry Hotel's young guests.

In return for their time and imagination the Christmas Consultant will be awarded a special gift from The Disney Store and will also be treated to lunch with their parents in the famous River Room Restaurant at The Lowry Hotel.
