Festive food, drink and crafts at town event
Two fab festive events set to be hosted in town’s market place
A SUNDAY food and craft market offering a selection of hot and cold food plus crafts, collectibles and gifts will be returning to Market Place, Hinckley on Sunday 15 December from 10.30am until 4pm.
For the first time this year visitors will be treated to live music while they browse the stalls, courtesy of Hinckley’s popular live band 4th Avenue who will be performing festive favourites in front of the Christmas tree.
There will be 40 stallholders including street foods, warming mulled wine and cider, crafts, gifts, collectibles and more plus live music, Santa on
Stilts and entertainment from Fosse 107.
Assistant Town Centre Manager for the borough council and organiser of the event John Coward said “This was a really popular event last year so this year we’ve decided to make it even bigger to encourage even more people to shop local, adding more stalls offering and all things Christmas; lights, mince pies, crafts, gifts, collectibles and Christmas music.
“Parking is free in council car parks on Sundays so please wrap up warm and come along and soak up the festive atmosphere while enjoying some Christmas shopping.”
