Newbury Weekly News

Thursday, 17 November, 2016

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 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. Report by DAN COOPER email dan.cooper@newburynews.co.uk twitter @danc_nwn

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. For more information, visit www.cornexchangenew.com/

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.
