The Christchurch Christmas Festival will start tomorrow from 10am-7pm and continue over the weekend from 10am-5pm on Saturday, and midday-5pm on Sunday – following a cafe-style morning worship which starts at 10.30am.

On display will be the ‘Knitivity Star’, which has been created by several members of the community, as well as creative displays of bible stories – including one from Bosmere Primary School.

The town’s annual Christmas fayre will also take place this Sunday from 10am-4pm and many of the town’s shops will be open.

There will also be stalls in the High Street, at the community centre and several other locations as well as other activities and attractions.
