Christmas is coming

By Monica Chard

With so many events cancelled, even in recent months, we all need some fun. So the Lower Sunbury Business Community is starting to make plans for CHRISTMAS! We know how much you all love the Lower Sunbury Christmas market, so we are going to be running it again this year. Put the date in your diary. It will be December 9th and we are excited already! We will be closing the lower part of The Avenue, outside the shops. This will allow you to wander peacefully around the stalls. Closure from 3pm-9pm. We will have 30 or so stalls, selling a variety of gifts and goodies as well as food for you to enjoy during your night out. The Salvation Army is again coming to play carols so you can all get in the spirit of Christmas and help them with a donation towards those in need. There will be a smattering of children’s rides to bring a little colour and light to the evening. And we are going to be running the Christmas raffle again, with some great prizes donated by local businesses. The main prize (as yet undisclosed) will be donated by the Lower Sunbury Business Community.

All proceeds from the Christmas event will be redirected towards village projects. We support the flowering baskets in the village and have donated towards the Riverside Arts Centre to help keep it running during the pandemic. The event is run by volunteers who want to make a difference to the village. Please be patient if you are not able to drive down the Avenue for these few hours. Think of the greater good! So many people will be out enjoying a little taste of normality.

The trusty raffle girls will be happy to help!

The date: December 9th 5-8pm
