It’s not even December yet but we’re sure you’re starting to hear Christmas songs blaring from shops as you go about your business and that the lights have started going up around the town centres. You might have even noticed the preparations getting underway for Christmas Markets which will be popping up around the region. Here are our top pick of places to visit for Christmas Markets and other town celebrations across the region.
Bideford’s hugely popular Christmas market starts on 30th November and will have around 100 stalls including the very best of local arts and crafts. This year, it is based at Affinity Devon, so you’ll have the chance to take advantage of late night shopping at the shopping centre as well as games, rides and lots of festive street food.
Kingsbridge’s Christmas event kicks off on 7th December and promises to be bigger and better than ever. There will be the usual market in the town square, as well as a visit from Father Christmas and live entertainment. Stall holders will be coming from across the county with a whole host of fabulous food and gifts for you to make a start to your Christmas shopping.
Totnes’s Christmas event is hugely popular and this year will take place over three Tuesdays in December starting on the 3rd. Once again there will be stalls all across the main street, as well as late night shopping opportunities in the town’s independent businesses and a whole host of locally made food and drink with live entertainment on each of the three nights. You don’t even need to fight for car parking spaces as a free park and ride service will be operating from Follaton House.
On the 11th December Newton Abbot will be hosting their annual Lantern Parade and Christmas Street Fayre with a whole host of street food, entertainment and live music. Many of the decorations are being supplied by local primary school children too!
