Christmas Market and Grotto

On Sunday 1st December, St Stephen Parish Council hosted a fantastic free Christmas Market and Santa’s Grotto for our wonderful community!

The event was a huge success, with a steady stream of residents of all ages enjoying the opportunity to browse a wide variety of stalls offering unique gifts, games and delicious food. Paul Amsterdam’s band was on stage playing festive music to help get everyone into the Christmas spirit, while the Lazy Llama café offered drinks, snacks and mulled wine.

We were very lucky that Santa was able to spare an afternoon to meet the children of the Parish. He was helped by a team of elves from our local Guide group who worked really hard to manage the queue. A little robin made a surprise appearance in the grotto too, adding an extra touch of festive magic!

A big thank you to everyone who came along and made the day so special.
