Mulled Wine and Mince Pies On Us!

Julian Hewlett posted on 21st November 2017

Christchurch Christmas Festival is a wonderful community celebration of Christmas and all things festive! The day includes a Christmas market, live music and entertainment, an arts and craft section, and of course the renowned Christmas Lights Switch on. This is all taking place this Saturday 25^th November throughout the day. With just 4 days to go, we are getting ready and can’t wait to offer our customers a festive treat on the day! We are inviting you to come by our Christchurch Office and receive a mulled wine, mince pie and a warm greeting! As always we like to give something back so we would ask for a small contribution towards the treats, as all proceeds are going towards Christchurch Macmillan Caring Locally Hospice. Therefore giving what you can is hugely appreciated.

The Santa’s procession is due to set-off at 4.30pm with the naughty reindeers in tow, and the official light switch on will be illuminated from 6pm at the Mayors Parlour, where stars from the Bournemouth Panto and cast and crew from the Highcliffe Charity Players Panto ‘Dick Whittington’ will be there to make the event truly magnificent.

Some helpful information for the day:

Christmas Market: 10AM-8PM

Live Reindeer in Saxon Square: 2PM-8PM

Santa’s Parade starting at the Priory Gates: 4.30PM

Christmas Lights Switch on: 6PM

Alpine Bar in Saxon square: 12 NOON-11PM

This is a community generated event and run by volunteers for the benefit of the community. Lovett are all about supporting our local businesses and successful events such as this, so make sure you come and get involved this weekend and spread the Christmas joy with us!

ALSO: Parking is normally very, very busy on the day, so please arrive early to secure parking, perhaps use the many bus routes available or the train station is a mere 15 minute walk!
