CHEDDAR FESTIVE SHOPPING NIGHT
Every
year, a few weeks before Christmas, the shops and cafes of Cheddar
open late one evening. It's an ideal opportunity to buy unusual
gifts whilst enjoying the festive atmosphere. The event is normally held on the first Friday in December from 6pm.
A typical schedule involves a firework launch, choirs and bands dotted around the village, candlelit tours of the caves, with the Lower Gorge and much of the village decked out with Christmas trees and lights. There are normally pig roasts at two or three of Cheddar's pubs, a farmer's market and a prize draw. The Tourist Information Centre is also open till late. Santa usually puts in an appearance too! Why not come in fancy dress, bring candles and torches!

Contact Caroline
at Cheddar Parish Council for more details of this year's
event.
If you want to come along, and
need somewhere to stay - perhaps to make a weekend of it - hop
over to the Accommodation
page and book early as rooms go fast.
If you are unable to
attend on the day, don't worry, most shops are still open as
normal on other days and the Christmas decorations and lights
are up throughout the village and lower Gorge right through
December and New Year. Gorge Bus tours run through the Christmas
holiday period.
