Ashhurst Christmas Market & Parade this Saturday!
Hi Neighbours,
Just to let you all know that this Saturday (14th) is the Ashhurst Christmas Market, Parade & Church Fair.
This is a really cool day when pretty much the whole village comes out to celebrate :) The parade is at 10am, the market runs from 10-1, with loads of stalls selling everything from food and drinks to plants to handmade local crafts & jewellery, spread between the Village Valley Centre car park & the village green. Santa will be at the library after the parade. Plus the St Mary's church fair will be starting at 9 (on Cambridge Ave, next to the VVC), with clothes, home baking & bargains for everyone.
Bring cash (most stalls don't have eftpos available) & get all your Christmas shopping done in one trip!
Everyone's welcome - see you there :)
