The hugely popular Holmes Chapel Christmas Market & Fair is returning on Sunday 4 December.
The much-loved event is being hosted by voluntary organisation Holmes Chapel Partnership which has been working tirelessly since the summer to ensure the Christmas Market & Fair is bigger and better than ever before!
Thanks to generous sponsorships from local organisations: Holmes Chapel Parish Council, Massey Feeds, Neon Freight, Anwyl Homes, Thorneycroft Solicitors, Laura Wilson School of Dance, Cheshire Pet and Sibelco, the not-for-profit event is shaping up to be an unforgettable evening.
Following the success of 2021’s event, this year’s Christmas Market & Fair will see the return of the Festive Fairground on the Co-op Car Park with a choice of games and thrills to keep children, teenagers and the young at heart entertained!
Holmes Chapel’s main road, The Square, will be closed to traffic from Barclays Bank down to and including Parkway and brought to life with almost 40 festive stalls. Together with a further ten stalls located inside the Scout Hut, visitors can enjoy the return of popular local vendors, alongside new faces and products. It is the perfect place to find Christmas gifts, while also supporting local businesses and organisations.
Festive performances by local groups and schools will take place on the stage near St. Luke’s Church, with music and dedications provided by Dane Sound. Santa Claus will also be out on his BRAND NEW sleigh to meet the children.
Many Holmes Chapel shops and venues have also extended their festive spirit to the event by staying open for the Sunday evening and offering their ever-popular products to visitors.
“Last year’s Christmas Market & Fair was fantastic and the highlight of the year for many residents in Holmes Chapel,” commented Gail Griggs, Events and Volunteer Coordinator for Holmes Chapel Partnership. “2022 will be the largest event we have ever hosted and we are incredibly excited to bring the whole community together for an evening of festive celebrations. Please come along and support our wonderful village!”
Local publication The Villages Mag is once again supporting Holmes Chapel by designing a free map and pull-out guide to the evening which will be featured in the December edition of its magazine.
Holmes Chapel Partnership would welcome more volunteers to help with the smooth running of this year’s event. To get involved please email events@hcpartnership.org.uk or visit the website www.hcpartnership.org.uk.
The Christmas Market & Fair is open from 3-7pm on Sunday 4 December.
