‘COVID-safe’ Christmas festival
MARLOW: An 'ambitious and exciting' COVID-safe Christmas festival will be arriving in town later this month.
'The Marlow Christmas Drive-In' will be running from Wednesday, December 16 to Tuesday, December 22.
Held at the rugby club in Riverwoods, the festival will be hosting more than 20 events including a mix of carol concerts, nativity plays, school performances, Christmas lunches, fundraisers and an awards ceremony.
Organised by The Pub in The Park festival team and supported by the town council, the inaugural showcase intends to enable people to 'celebrate safely with joy', according to resident celebrity chef Tom Kerridge.
"This has been a difficult year for everybody. Our festival business has worked all year to create new safe solutions for social events and to support our fabulous hometown," he said.
"We are thrilled to offer all our brilliant community groups this chance to gather and celebrate safely and with joy.”
Organisations planning to join in the festivities include Sir William Borlase's Grammar School, All Saints Church and Marlow FM, which will be broadcasting live.
Chris Hughes, CEO of Pub in the Park, said: “There is still time for more organisations to join us and be part of this ambitious and exciting programme. Please get in touch if you’d like to be involved.”
