Fairyland is coming to Winslow
on Thursday, 3rd December 2009!
Winslow will become Fairyland
for the evening of Thursday, 3rd December 2009 for the annual
Christmas Fayre and Retail Evening. The Market Square will be
transformed with the aid of a snow machine. Everyone is asked to
dress up as their favourite fairytale character. There will be a
competition and prizes for the best adult’s and children’s
costumes.
Santa and REAL reindeer Santa
Claus will be spending the evening in Winslow, with a special
grotto in Jenny Wren’s café. While he is meeting the children,
his beautiful sleigh will be parked outside in the Market Square
and his REAL reindeer will have a well-deserved rest in their
own pen. Make sure mum and dad bring the camera for a very
special photo with the reindeer.
Tree Lights and Seasonal Treats
To get everyone into the Christmas spirit the Mayor of Winslow,
George Langley, will turn on the tree lights at 6pm. Then from
7pm – 7.30pm there will be carol singing led by the St Lawrence
Church Choir. As well as fair ground rides for the children and
a selection of community stalls; there will be live music from
Paul French, a roving Jester and some fantastic Christmas
activities to try your hand at, such as wreath-making and cookie
decorating. In case you get peckish during the evening, there
will be hot chestnuts, mince pies, mulled wine and a Hog Roast
to feast on.
Christmas Shopping Activities
don’t stop in the Market Square. Many of the shops will be open
for Christmas shopping until 9pm, including the Beautifully
Different Accessories, Delicatessen Estrella, No 8 Fashions, the
Polka Dot Gallery and Truly Scrumptious. Local cafes will also
be open.
And finally…don’t forget the
Winslow Christmas Farmers Market on Sunday, 6th December for
locally-grown Christmas Produce and more Yuletide fun.
Car Parking: Free parking is
available in the Greyhound Lane car park, just 200 metres from
the Market Square. |
