Devizes Christmas Festival

WAP member Dave Buxton has asked that I share this with you. 

Friday 25 November

Devizes Christmas Festival is on Friday 25th November (a bit early to be called Xmas fest I know but hey …) and features our super Lantern Parade of hundreds of lanterns made by schools and community groups from Devizes and all the surrounding villages. Around 700 expected this year including some big sculptural specimens.

Christmas markets, festive food and drink, street performers, bands, fire jugglers, fireworks. Party atmosphere guaranteed!

We are offering open access lantern-making workshops for all ages at Crown Centre, St Johns Street, Devizes: Saturdays 12th, 19th (2.00 – 4.30); Wednesdays 16th, 23rd (6.00 – 8.30). Materials and tuition are free. All welcome.

I’ve attached some publicity stuff if you can use it and here’s a link to a lovely YouTube video of last year’s festival which is highly recommended, especially if you don’t feel very Christmassy yet!
