CHEDDAR FESTIVE SHOPPING NIGHT

Cheddar Festive NightEvery year, a few weeks before Christmas, the shops, pubs and cafes of Cheddar open late one evening. It's an ideal opportunity to buy unusual gifts whilst enjoying the festive atmosphere.

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 the 2007 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.
