Monty and Mr Crusty were on the Market Place this morning – thanks to the Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary. One of their donkeys will be back next Saturday for a Nativity Play for under 5’s at St Helen’s Church.

This morning at St Helen’s Church there was Christmas Storytelling and crafts for children 3 – 9 years.

Outside St Helen’s at 11am was the official opening of the new heritage boards with the Mayor

On each board is a QR Code that you can scan with your mobile to listen to the audio tour of the new Heart of Abingdon Trail. The Mayor and the historians who worked on the boards did the tour before returning to the Market Place,

where Santa was in a gazebo grotto.
