"There’s a real Christmas atmosphere and you can take it all in in the tepee whilst enjoying a glass of mulled wine and listening to some live festive entertainment."

On Friday and Saturday the stalls will be open until 8pm with entertainment in the teepee until 10pm. The village will close at 4pm on Sunday, December 15.

free parking after 10am will also be available at the following locations: Waterworld, library, St George’s Crescent, Crescent Road, St Giles, Market Street and Tŷ Pawb is offering free parking after 3pm every Friday until Christmas to support its Film Night events.
