Oswestry BIG CHRISTMAS WEEKEND is nearly here

The countdown is on to the BIG CHRISTMAS WEEKEND in Oswestry. Ready to join in?
Come to Christmas Live on Friday 6th December. Don’t miss the Christmas Parade on Saturday 7th and come to support the Santa Run on Sunday.
Is this Shropshire’s most Christmassy weekend? Oswestry thinks it is!! Oswestry Christmas live – it’s a fun mix of all things festive! There will be live music on Bailey Head, Christmas market stalls and Santa’s grotto. Can you picture yourself inside a super sized snow globe? Are you ready for fabulous fairground rides? There’s even a firework finale. For one night only Oswestry is a Christmas extravaganza of festive fun.
Oswestry Christmas Parade – from 11 o’clock on Saturday morning, the parade of Christmas floats drives slowly around Oswestry town centre. Which will your favourite theme be? There are sure to be pantomime favourites with fairies and elves and Santa is sure to be there too. Be ready to catch a sweetie or two too.
Saturday is Small Business Saturday and there is no better way to enjoy that than by staying on after the parade to browse through Oswestry market and our wonderful independent shops. Go on an elf hunt as you wander around and you could win a fantastic £50 voucher to spend in your favourite shop. Still looking for that perfect stocking filler? Take a trip to Oswestry Showground for The Antiques and Collector’s Fair on Saturday and Sunday.
It’s Santa Sunday in Oswestry on 8th December. How many Santa’s can you count on the Santa Run? Don’t miss Santa stories at Booka Bookshop on Sunday afternoon too.
A date with Christmas culture? A Christmas Carol is playing at the Hermon Arts Centre all weekend and, next week, Treasure Island is on at the Attfield Theatre.
That’s Oswestry’s BIG CHRISTMAS WEEKEND!
