Festive Lights will soon be shining along Tewkesbury’s three main streets after the big switch on at Sunday 25th November’s Christmas Market. Another exciting day is being planned for the special event, and this year there will be added attractions - including two of Santa’s reindeer and a falconry display. The market stalls are fully booked already, and there will be a wide variety of splendid Christmas gift ideas, and opportunities to win prizes. The principal raffle is being organised by Andrews Estate Agent, who have provided the main prize - and tickets are available from their High Street offices. Funfair entertainment will, as usual, be provided by Danters. The public can help boost funds with Sponsor-A-Bulb and have a star on the Christmas tree with a

This year’s Tewkesbury Firework display looks set to be bigger and better than ever. The free event, held at The Vineyards on Saturday 3rd November, has as usual been organised by the Rotary Club - who have increased the budget for fireworks by 20% this year. There will be a funfair from 4pm, with the bonfire being lit by the Mayor at 6.30pm. Fireworks begin at 7pm. There will be burgers and refreshments and a collection for local charities.
