Malmesbury’s Christmas shopping night will have stalls, Santa and season’s greetings. A record number of stallholders have applied to set up at this year’s Malmesbury late-night shopping. It looks set to be bigger and better than ever.
The festive highlight will take place on Friday, December 5th, from 6pm to 9pm. The Malmesbury Mayor, Cllr Stephen James, will perform the official opening.
Stalls will line the streets and once again extend up the High Street and along Oxford Street. Organisers are hoping for good weather after inclement weather at last year’s event forced a relocation to the Town Hall.
For the youngsters
For the children, Cross Hayes car park will feature plenty of attractions, including Santa’s Grotto. Shoppers can also enjoy entertainment provided by local choirs. There’ll also be lots of tasty food stalls, all designed to get people into the Christmas spirit.
Malmesbury Town Council and the local business group, Malmesbury Town Team organise the annual event. It draws hundreds of local residents and visitors to Malmesbury.
Our team of organisers and volunteers are working hard to make sure this annual event is bigger and better than ever. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for good weather,’ said Cllr James. ‘I’m looking forward to seeing local people and visitors enjoying our town under the festive lights and the children excited to see Santa. The whole event is a great start to the Christmas period.’
