Christmas Shopping Came To Sherborne Today!

Our Festive Shopping Event was held today to support the charity Clic Sargent which cares for children and young people with cancer.

Cheap Street was closed for traffic and we enjoyed steam engines offering rides, an old steam organ, the Two Castles Youth Band and a number of circus acts!

There was an official lighting-up event at 4.15pm on The Conduit with Olympic Gold Medallist Andrew Simpson MBE switching on the lights on the Christmas tree.  Sherborne Chamber Choir entertained us with carols and mince pies.

The Crystal Man presided over the festivities.  And a lot of shoppers of all ages went home tired, but happy.

Thanks, Crystal Man – come back next year!
