The Dickensian Festival is held on 2 consecutive Weekends leading up to Christmas. This year the dates for your diary are Saturday and Sunday 3rd/3rd and 9th/10th December
The Town Hall Indoor Christmas Market has dozens of stalls selling a wide variety of items , hand made sweets and chocolates, crafts and much more
Stalls, entertainers, street music, hog roast, charcoal braziers, roast chestnuts, Christmas carols and street urchins make a colourful noisy Dickensian Christmas atmosphere in the village.
Lots of people dress up in period costume and you can easily imagine seeing the Artful Dodger or Ebenezer Scrooge appearing in the cobbled square.
