The Food Plaza will be in the Market Place, featuring artisan food and drink stalls, with tables and benches and additional seating.
The Light Switch On ceremony will be broadcast on 3 big screens on Market Place and West Market Place, instead of the stage, to allow more space for the crowds. Catch the Show between 3.55pm and 4.35pm, followed by a short, low noise firework display to celebrate the strat of Advent.
Santa and his sleigh with helpers will join the family fun as well as hot roast chestnut and marshmallow sellers, and live music performances throughout Saturday.
Road Closures- managed by the AA, will be in place in the town centre from 5.30pm Friday 29th November to Midnight Sunday 1st December. There will be access for residents affected, but deliveries and contractors must be arranged outside the closure times. For more information on road closures https://bit.ly/TownCentreRoadClosures

Richard Greasby Runs Another Ultra Marathon - Running In a Land Of Fire & Ice
There was a certain inevitability that soon after my double marathon in the Atlas Mountains in 2024 that I would be open to another challenge whilst legs, health and my wonderfully supportive wife Carol allowed. This has all followed a growing, but unplanned, running adventure since 2019 with 14 ultra marathons and over 6000 training miles (including 100-ish half-marathon training runs). Needless to say, my physio is seeing more of me than ever!
