Thousands of people come into the town to enjoy the event and provide a much-welcome boost to the town centre economy, through shopping, eating and drinking – a great way to support the local business community.
“The town centre is a great place to pick up your Christmas gifts, with a fantastic choice of national and independent stores offering a wide variety of interesting and unique gifts for friends and family. We also have some great food and drink offers from the many cafes, pubs, and restaurants in the town centre.”
