We are delighted to be part of Christmas In The Village which returns this year on Sunday 5th December. The days promises to be full of festive fun, food, shopping and activities for the whole family. Santa will be arriving on horseback and the day will end with carols around the Christmas tree.
We will have face painting in our office at 24 High Street from 10.30 – 4.30 p.m. and we will also be doing a treasure hunt for all the family and a competition to guess the number of sweets in the jar.
