Today, the Abingdon Fire Fighters collected money for the Fire Fighters Charity on the Market Place. During 2023, they have dealt with house fires, refuse fires, bus fires, and road collisions and given out lots of safety information. They had an open day in July that raised over £1000 for their charity, and in October raised over £2000 with a 24-hour cycle challenge.

Also on the Market Place were Hedges, the butcher, so people could pick up their Christmas orders. And the fruit and veg stall from the Monday Market – on a Saturday.
