Enjoy the musicians, dancers, street entertainers and exhibitions of
traditional country crafts. Experience the pleasure of
doing your Christmas shopping, exploring our quaint shops, finding
presents and curios in an atmosphere unlike any other.

time of Charles Dickens. See the Christmas lights, the village
square and the streets transformed into a traditional
market with shopkeepers, villagers and visitors dressed in Victorian costume.
