Lights, camera, action!
CHRISTMAS festivities will
officially begin in Newbury at
the switch-on of the Christmas
lights on Sunday, November 27.
Wrap up warm and head to the
Market Place nice and early to
enjoy some of the best tastes of
Christmas, from spicy mulled
wine to warm cinnamon donuts
and other traditional treats.
Also, keep your eyes peeled for Mr
Christmas himself, as Santa is
expected to join a parade through
the town centre at 4.30pm (as long
as the little boys and girls have
been good, of course!).
The event climax will be at 5pm,
when the festive lights, which will
twinkle above Northbrook Street
and Market Place, will be switched
on.
The event, run by Newbury BID,
will feature live entertainment on
stage from 2pm, building up to the
parade at 4.30pm from the council
car park on Market Street.
The parade will travel along
Bartholomew Street, Northbrook
Street, London Road, Park Way,
and Wharf Street, finishing back
in the Market Place.
Don’t worry if you miss Santa on
that day – he will be at his grotto
in Parkway from December 3-6
and again from December 17-23.
Unfortunately there will be no
Christmas Village in Newbury
this year.
But there will be late-night
shopping at the majority of town
centre shops on Tuesday,
December 15.
Shoppers will be entertained by
choir singers dotted around the
town, and participating stores will
stay open until 8pm.
Road closures will be extended
until this time in the town centre’s
pedestrianised areas.
There will also be free parking in
the council-owned multi-storey
car parks between 5pm and 8pm.
If you can’t wait to get into the
festive spirit you can join in the
fun with this year’s Reindeer
Hunt, which runs from November
14-20.
Try to locate the 12 reindeers
dotted around the town for a
chance to win a ride for two in
Santa’s sleigh.
And what would Christmas be if
there was no pantomime on hand
to entertain us all?
Coming to the Corn Exchange,
Newbury, this year is Cinderella,
which runs from Friday, Novem-
ber 25, to Saturday, December 31.
