ROSS-on-Wye is set to sparkle with festive spirit as the town’s much-loved Christmas Fayre returns at the end of the month.

A day packed with Christmas shopping, delicious treats, live music and family entertainment to the town centre has been planned for Sunday, November 29, taking place from 11am to 5pm, the Christmas Fayre will transform the town centre into a festive wonderland.

There will be more than 85 stalls offering a fantastic selection of unique gifts, handmade crafts and seasonal goodies – perfect for finding those special Christmas presents.

Visitors can also enjoy a tempting variety of food and drink from the many traders joining the festivities.

There will be plenty to keep the whole family entertained, with live music ranging from traditional brass bands to solo singers, filling the streets with festive favourites and Christmas cheer.

Street entertainment will add to the atmosphere throughout the day, while younger visitors will have the chance to meet Santa himself in his grotto at EnviroAbility.

The celebrations will reach their magical finale at 4.30pm, when the town’s Christmas lights are switched on, illuminating Ross-on-Wye in festive splendour and marking the start of the Christmas season.

Ross-on-Wye Town Council looks forward to welcoming residents and visitors alike for a wonderful day of festive fun, community spirit and Christmas celebrations.

The Town Council would like to extend its sincere thanks to Dawleys, JEH Laundry Services, Westons and HCR Law for sponsoring this year’s event and helping to make the Christmas Fayre possible.

To accommodate the Christmas Fayre, a number of road closures will be in place including Broad Street, from the Market House to the Station Street junction from 11pm on November 28 until 10pm on Sunday, November 29. All Herefordshire Council owned car parks are free on Sundays.
