Horsell Christmas Fair & Christmas Tree Festival



I am looking forward to taking part in the Horsell Christmas Fair this Friday.  It is going to be a great late afternoon and evening in the village centre.  Many shops in the High Street will be opening late.  The shops will be decorated with Christmas Trees, the pubs are joining in and there will be hot chestnuts on sale, stalls from local voluntary groups and small enterprises, crafts in the Village Hall and a treasure hunt for children.  Whilst you walk around the village you can listen to and even join in with carol singing from our own Community Choir.

The Crown is now home to Thurstons the Horsell Brewing Company.  This is the first brewery in the village for 95 years (the last I assume was the one in Brewery Road).  Thurstons first beer is Stedman’s ale and it will be on tap on Friday 30 November.
 

The Christmas Fair starts at 4pm and activity goes until 8pm.  For full details of event times and layout of the Fair buy a programme at local shops including Spar, Needle and Thread, LA Fitness, Squires Garden Centre, Butchers for just £1.  The programme contains one entry into the Grand Raffle.

Whilst all this is going on in the High Street up at St Mary’s Church on Church Hill the Christmas Tree Festival will be in full swing.  This is the second year of the Christmas Tree festival, organised by the church and the Parent Teacher Association from Horsell Village and Horsell Junior School.  The whole church will be taken over by many different interpretations of the Christmas Tree from the traditional back to nature tree with pine cones, through a Lego tree, a Brussels sprout tree, lollipop tree and even a tree of cup-cakes.   The Christmas Tree Festival is open from 10am to 8pm on Friday and from 10am to 4pm on Saturday.  You even get to vote on your favourite tree.  Suggested entry to the Christmas Tree Festival is £3 for adults but children are free. All proceeds go to the PTA to support learning at our local schools.

If all this isn’t enough Friday evening excitement at 8.15pm Horsell Cinema Club has its first outing showing Miracle on 34thStreet in the Village Hall.  The film begins at 8.15pm.  Tickets priced at £2.50 will be available from Seymours Estate Agents on the day.
