The Market Place will once again be filled with Christmas trees, music, activities and a wide range of stalls selling all sorts of goodies, including Christmas gift ideas and festive food.
 
Santa will be joining us and looking forward to chatting to the children in his grotto, where he’ll be handing out presents – but only if they’ve been good.
 
Children’s entertainment is being provided throughout the afternoon from Graham Andrew of Funforce.
 
ATMs can be found at the Spar, Ollands Road, and the Co-op, Station Road. Please keep dogs on a short lead to save people tripping over them.

There will be several other events also taking place on the same day.

The church will be filled with 26 Christmas trees, sponsored and decorated by local businesses, individuals and groups, and visitors will be invited to vote for their favourite tree.
 
The Christmas tree festival is organised by Reepham Lions Club and entry is free, although visitors will have the opportunity to make donations, which will be shared equally between Reepham Lions and St Mary’s.
 
Meanwhile, the Reepham Artists & Makers Craft Event will be held in St Michael’s Reepham on Sunday 3 December from 11 am – 4 pm, featuring gifts in Fair Isle knitting, mixed media, textiles, watercolours, jewellery, glass, wood and sculpture, all made by local artists and makers.
