Amesbury's main Christmas event, The Festive Fayre, was held in Central Car Park on Sat 2nd Dec and hailed by all to be a huge success. Despite freezing weather there was a great turnout - with the crowd being treated to a great choice of food and drink, lots of amusements and entertainment from many bands and local groups on the stage.
The event is organised by just a handful of people from The Stonehenge Chamber Events Team and is funded solely by donations - with any excess funds being donated to local charities.
A representative from the team told the trader that they'd like to thank the following businesses, who all donated assets to make the event such a success;
Tyrone Mundy - Santa's Appearance
Louise/A Date With Thyme - Mrs Christmas Appearance
Gemma & Kyle/A Date With Thyme - Tables, Grotto tent, Grotto gingerbreads & heating
