Paul and Mike from the Chamber of Commerce were handing out their new glossy magazine: Christmas in Abingdon 2011. Get a copy at ER Goffs and many other places.
In it I see that coming up to Christmas there are the following Market Place events…
1. Abingdon Extravaganze Evening – Thursday 1st December (from 5pm) – Theme Kings and Queens
2. Abingdon Christmas Craft Fair – Sat 3rd December (10am to 3pm)
3. Reindeer (and Santa) in the the Market Place – Sat 10th December (from 10:30am) – Two hours Free Parking will have started by then
4. Nativity in the Market Place (with donkeys) – Sat 17th December
5. Gift wrapping and shopping advice service – Sat 24th December
(Text the word Abingdon to 64546 and get these dates direct to your mobile).
By the way, Hester and myself have stopped maintaining abingdondiary.co.uk after two years as we feel there are now better sites available. Abingdondiary.co.uk will now redirect you to the Choose Abingdon What’s On where you can add your own events. I hope that will happen and it will take off. Also very good, and with more events at the moment is the Abingdon Town Council’s What’s On. To get info added to that email: enquiries@abingdon.gov.uk .
The chamber of commerce have pulled together a really good schedule this year – well done all,
Really looking forward to next Saturday’s food day in the market place where all the cafes and restaurants have stalls where you can sample their menus.
