Christmas in Reepham, as the event will now be called, is being organised by Caring Friends Mid Norfolk, which supports anyone affected by cancer, dementia or long-term health conditions.
 
This year’s festival will be held in the Market Place, Reepham, on Sunday 8 December from 5–9 pm and will feature locally focused stalls selling Christmas items, crafts, food and refreshments.
 
There will not be a Christmas lights switch-on, but the Market Place will already be illuminated.
 
There will, however, be a Santa’s grotto and hopefully a lantern parade by the local primary school, as well as a choir at around 6 pm and live music from 7 pm.
 
The event also coincides with Reepham Lions’ Christmas Tree Festival in St Mary’s and a craft fair taking place in St Michael’s.
 
A road closure will be in place on Sunday 8 December from 12 noon until 9.30 pm – all vehicles (except stallholders’ vehicles) must be removed from the Market Place and Church Hill by 11.30 am.
