Town events will start Christmas season with a bang

The Stamford Christmas Festival will return to the town on Sunday, November 27, from 10am to 6pm - with stalls and activities in Stamford High Street, Ironmonger Street, Broad Street, Red Lion Square and Sheep Market.

Each of the roads will be closed from 11pm the night before until midnight on the Sunday.

Last year, the event had to be unfortunately cancelled due to bad weather forecasts and a smaller Christmas lights switch on was rearranged and proved popular.
