A Christmas Wonderland on Fore Street
Imagine walking down Fore Street, filled with the sights and sounds of Christmas. Local carol singers fill the air with festive cheer, while the scent of roasted chestnuts and freshly baked goodies drifts through the crowd. This year’s event spans from Fore Street’s car park to Sainsbury's, so you can expect an even larger variety of local vendors showcasing everything from handmade gifts to seasonal treats.
Here’s a sneak peek of what to expect:
- Carol Singing and Festive Entertainment: Local carol singers will be performing throughout the day, adding a heartwarming soundtrack to your shopping experience.
