Santa's Grotto will be in the warmth of the Library from 11am - 3pm. Our younger visitors are very welcome to come and share their Christmas Present lists with him.

Berkshire Maestros will be providing live music throughout the day on the Market Place stage and Rock Choir will perform at 1pm, 2pm & 3pm in the Methodist church in Rose Street.

The highlight of the day is the Carnival Procession which starts at 4pm and winds its way through the town as dusk falls. A great spectacle with decorated floats, bands, assorted vehicles and costumed walkers with lanterns, it also provides an opportunity to empty your pockets of loose change and pop it into the charity buckets.

We look forward to seeing you.
