The event starts at 1.30pm when school choirs will perform in the street. The evenings events will start with music from 5:30pm followed by the arrival of Father Christmas at 6:45pm lead by Pipes & Drums when snow is guaranteed.

The streets will be lined with stalls from local charities and organisations and old time amusements, including a Ferris wheel, Helter Skelter and two children's rides.

Choirs will sing, bands will play and The Bristol Morris Men will dance and all sorts of stalls bringing a traditional market including a Hog Roast will be held in High Street.

Come along and join us for your late night Christmas shopping with shops open throughout the evening. As usual the streets will be lined with Christmas lights and trees, decorated by local schools and nursery groups
