Save the date! On Sunday 6th December the All New Wynterfest will return to Wymondham, with stalls, music, food, shopping and entertainment for all the family.

For years Wynterfest has been the highlight of the town centre's year, bringing together people from across South Norfolk to enjoy the start of the festive season. Our businesses, pubs and cafes open their doors for the occasion, and many visitors discover for the first time just how much Wymondham has to offer.

One notable change is that the light switch-on will happen ten days before the event, on Thursday 26 November, at 4:00. This is so that visitors and residents can enjoy the light display in the town for longer. The separate light switch-on will be a smaller, after-school

family event, with hot chocolate, mulled wine, and a few treats available on the market cross.

Ten days later, on Sunday 6th December, Wymondham will put on the all-new full festival, complete with the traditional arrival of Father Christmas in a parade, a grotto hosted by Money Properties, a fun fair, and music on stage. The organisers are excited to announce that the band World Without End have already been booked to perform.

Wynterfest is this year being led by Together For Wymondham, which is an alliance of businesses, not-for-profit organisations, and the town council all working together to bring the festival to the people of Wymondham.

The chair of the group, Tracy Kenny, said, 'Wynterfest has always been a celebration we all share, and those who have gone before us have left a tradition of a super event. As an occasion that brings us all together, it's right that organising it should be a shared responsibility. We're really thankful to those who have led the festival in the past, and their generosity in sharing their learning with us. We're really pleased to be working as a team to once again bring a great experience to the people of Wymondham.'
