Lighting up Hunger ford with song and a jockey

NEVER let it be said that Hungerford town does not know how to do Christmas. A Christmas Fayre will be held at St Lawrence Church in Hungerford on Saturday, November 19, from 10am to 2pm. There will be cards, cakes, toys, bric-a-brac, a tombola and a whisky draw. Father Christmas is also scheduled to put in an appearance. Those famous Christmas lights will be switched on this year at 6pm on Saturday, November 27,

by legendary jockey AP McCoy And this year also marks the 25th anniversary of the famous Victorian extravaganza on Friday, December 9. Set against the glorious backdrop of the region’s best Christmas lights, the town is transformed into a wonderland of delights; the High Street is filled with side shows, a helter skelter, big wheel, steam engines, fairground organs and rides. Pedestrian barriers go up, huge lorries arrive with all the

equipment and shopkeepers make last minute adjustments to seasonal window displays. At 5pm the official opening takes place, brass bands play and a Victorian barrel organ brings the evening to life. Punch and Judy shows, stilt walkers, clowns, juggler and, for the children, Father Christmas. The shops will be open with their staff in Victorian dress, some giving out mulled wine and mince pies and at 7pm the Grand Parade comes up the High Street.
