Giant Red Noses pop up across UK

18th February 2019

Supersized red noses are popping up across the land as Sainsbury’s counts down to Red Nose Day on 15 March, launches their official Red Nose merchandise in-store and celebrates 20 years as our partner.

These giant red snifflers are appearing at ‘pick of the bunch’ locations, from Edinburgh’s Greyfriars Bobby to Blackpool’s Seafront to Cornwall’s Mud Man this half term. Even London’s stately St Paul’s gets to wear one.

We’re hoping the public will show support and get busy taking selfies in front of them. Just pop on your own Red Nose, and tag @Sainsburys, @ComicRelief and #RedNoseDay.

The fun doesn’t stop there. Sainsbury’s is also launching its first ever ‘Comic Receipt’ campaign, which offers the chance to see Ed Sheeran in Rome later this year. You’ll also get to meet him after the gig, and receive your very own, signed guitar. Phew.

To enter, visit the Sainsburys website(opens in new window) and type in the unique code on your receipt.

It’s also an important anniversary for Sainsbury’s and Comic Relief.

The past two decades have seen Sainsbury’s raise over £120 million for us and the retailer is hoping the fundraising efforts of customers and colleagues will make an even bigger difference to help those most in need across the UK and internationally.

Liz Warner, CEO at Comic Relief, said: “Sainsbury’s is a brilliant partner and it is always great to see the stores come to life with merchandise, red noses and more.

"We hope that, together with Sainsbury’s and Argos employees, we will raise millions of pounds to help fund projects locally and abroad – saving and changing lives.”

Thank you Sainsbury’s. You’re the best.
