Lanterns, late night shopping and tracking down the reindeer: it’s all happening in the West Berkshire destination for seasonal days out.
BRIGHT LIGHTS – from the decorations in the town centre to the atmospheric lantern procession – with a very good helping of fun will ensure the festive season offers something for everyone to enjoy in Newbury.
It all begins with a Reindeer Hunt between 11 and 19 November. The task is to find a dozen reindeer dotted around the town, and you could be in with a chance of riding on Santa’s sleigh in the Christmas parade before turning on the Christmas lights on Sunday, 26 November.
That’s the day when plenty of entertainment for all of the family including Santa’s grotto, live music on the stage in the Market Place and children’s rides will draw crowds to the town centre. The celebrations run from 11am, with the switch-on set for 5.30pm.
