The team has met and agreed that we should hold a physical Kimpton Christmas Market this year. However, to accommodate the concerns relating to the Covid 19 pandemic a new approach has been taken when we will have a ‘walking’ market instead of marquees on The Green. Stall holders will be invited to get involved by having their stalls in the comfort of front gardens, drives or garages around the village. A trail map will be produced to assist shoppers in finding their personal favourite traders and entice them to visit new offerings. Get busy over the summer to stock up ready for this wonderful community festive event.
Not only will craft stalls be set up, Kimpton PTA will be organising a special Christmas trail for children with stopping points including the opportunity of waving to the ‘special visitor’. We will continue to have our established food stalls spread out across various locations, bar operating from the Dacre Rooms, mulled wine in our special Kimpton mugs (new design for 2021) and Christmas music from local musicians to get us in the festive spirit. Following on from the success in 2020, our incredible ‘Light up Kimpton’ and lantern displays are to be organised for December and fully enjoyed when darkness falls. More details of other activities planned will be available in the autumn. Please put the date in your diary now!!
