The festive parade is made up of local dance groups, professional entertainers, bands and community groups ─ all to give Santa a warm welcome to the town. Previous years have seen over 400 people taking part in the parade, and this time around the invitation has been extended to any local business or organisation that would like to get involved.

The parade will leave late morning and after its finale, the fun will continue with activities and street food throughout the town until 4:30pm, concluding with the Christmas Tree light up.

There will also be a mouth-watering range of street food, and the organising team would love to hear from you if you’re a vendor of hot chestnuts and mulled wine ─ or any other Christmas delights!
