Victorian Christmas Spectacular photos

December 22, 2010

Sorry for the delay in posting these on the site but I did not have time before going on holiday.

Thank you to all those who made the effort to dress in Victorian costume. Despite the snowy weather the event was a great success and visitors gave generously to charity. When all the collection tins are returned and counted I will post a report about the money raised for Willow Burn and the Village Trust ‘Britain in Bloom’.

Thank you also to the Methodist Church for hosting the entertainment and the Village Trust volunteer stewards who helped to ensure that the event ran smoothly.

What a difference

November 26, 2010

What a difference a day makes. The day after I took the photos of the Christmas tree it snowed. So today I took a couple of more photos for comparison. Apart from the snow can you spot the difference?

Also, due to the cold weather and more snow in the forecast, it has been decided that the Victorian Christmas Spectacular events will be held in the Methodist Church, Front Street. The only event in the square will be the lighting of the Christmas tree, by Santa, at 4.30pm.

A reporter and photographer from Newsquest were in the village this morning gathering information and taking photos for a newspaper article about the forthcoming Victorian Spectacular on Saturday 27th November, in support of Willow Burn.

Do you recognise the Town Crier and Fagan?
