WESTBURY’S Christmas celebrations will take place in the High Street and Market Place from 1pm to 7pm on Saturday 3rd December with a festive market, live music and of course the Christmas lights switch on.
Westbury Town Council say, “The Christmas in Westbury celebration will come hot on the heels of the much-loved Wiltshire Chilli Fest and White Horse Soapbox events earlier in 2022, all run by Westbury Town Council.
“Westbury continues to build its reputation as one of the best destinations for events in Wiltshire. Illustrated in some part by the fact performers seen on Cbeebies and Britain’s Got Talent will be at the event this year.
“Christmas in Westbury will be lit up with a brilliant market of more than 30 stalls, all selling perfect stocking fillers like hats, gloves and scarfs, crystal jewellery and festive plants. There will also be stunning Christmas wreaths available to buy. So come along and grab those last-minute gifts in Westbury High Street, while live music plays, including primary school choirs (1pm), Bratton Silver Band (2.15pm), Westbury Choral (3pm) and The Rock Choir (3.20pm).”
Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist, Dennis Demille, will be singing his array of Christmas show tunes on the Stage at 2.55pm and then again in the High Street at 4pm.
Kids can enjoy a huge children’s area, with a mammoth inflatable slide, funfair rides, circus workshops, puppet shows and, of course, Father Christmas in his Market Place grotto. The Dangerous Dave puppet show, as seen on Cbeebies, will be performing his hilarious set from 2pm in the Market Place.
The council say, “After Dennis Demille opens the stage, live music will include local band Open Road, the PSG choir and the brilliant Concrete Prairie. The final act playing us up until the lights switch on is the Will Blake Band, with a set list full of your favourite classics.
“The lights will come on between 6.30pm and 7pm. See you there as we brighten up Westbury for another festive season.”
