Yalding Yuletide Celebrations!
Christmas celebrations commence in Yalding, with the much-anticipated annual Yuletide Market in the High Street on Saturday, 6th December 2008, 5pm till 8pm.
Now in its eighth year, this hugely popular event promises to be even bigger and better than before and will provide seasonal excitement and entertainment for young and old alike.
No Yuletide event would be complete without an illuminating start to the evening’s festivities. Father Christmas will be lighting up the village Christmas tree, after carols sung by the children from Twyford Pre-School.
As befits a Yuletide event of such standing, we have plenty of entertainment lined up: Boughton Monchelsea morris dancers; children’s games, Woody the ‘one man band’; prize tombola. Street performers include Pyrus the Fire Eater and stilt walkers. Music will be provided by the East Peckham Silver Band, with Cancionera playing music in the church. In addition to all of this music, local band ‘Ruff n Ready’ will be playing at the top end of the High Street. Plenty of choice for all tastes.
The well established Yalding Farmers’ Market will open from 5pm, where you will be able to purchase fresh local produce including meat, sausages, bread and preserves and also gifts and plants.
As well as high quality food and drink, you will find seasonal essentials such as Christmas trees, holly wreaths and decorations. Many good quality craft stalls including candles, preserves, ceramics, cards and handmade jewellery.
For refreshment, choose from hot sausage, roasted chestnuts, waffles, mince pies, popcorn or candyfloss. There will also be hot, freshly cooked beef rolls, a pork spit roast and hot mulled wine and hot apple juice.
The High Street will be closed to traffic on the night, so your complete safety is ensured. Bring the family, meet some friends, and join in this most enjoyable annual event. See www.yaldingfarmersmarket.co.uk for details and location. We look forward to seeing you there!
