'A Wymondham Christmas' is now confirmed for Sunday 7th December, 12pm to 5pm. We have had an excellent response from volunteers, many from Lighting Up Wymondham (a group of volunteers that install the lights throughout the town), many from Wymondham Lions, many who regularly volunteer for events in Wymondham, and several new volunteers I have never met.

We have some food vendors arranged for the Market Place, L Gray is providing children's fairground rides in the town centre and there will be music in the Market Place. Money Properties have kindly agreed to create a new accessible Santa's Grotto which will be at the rear of the shop and be heated and illuminated with Christmas lights.

Lovells are kindly providing barriers for the road closures, which is being organised by the Town Council. The Town Council will also be installing the Christmas tree, and lighting at The Market Place.

There will be fun for all with tombolas, raffles and refreshments.

Wymondham Sports Bar will be involved to include Town Green in the festivities, and Wymondham Lions will be organising Santa's procession to his grotto.

We are still awaiting confirmation from a choir for the afternoon, but if there are any local choirs who would like to be involved please get in touch, we can have more than one choir.

We encourage cafes and businesses in Wymondham to open for a few hours to make it a truly Wymondham focussed event. The Christmas lights will be switched on at 4pm, followed by carol singing around the Christmas Tree.

We still have a few other items to be confirmed, and are happy to add more volunteers to our list.

If there are other people or groups that would like to be involved please contact Wymondham Lions or Kevin Hurn via email; kevin.hurn.kh@gmail.com
