Santa Fun Run: 3rd December 2017
As we slide into December, why not be part of the
biggest Santa-suited fun run that Newbury has ever seen? But hurry, registration for this fantastic
fundraising Newbury Fun Run closes 12 noon on Saturday 2nd of December.
Organised by Newbury Rotary Club volunteers, assisted
and sponsored by Newbury BID, the fabulous Santa Fun Run 2017 takes place on
Sunday 3 December, starting in Newbury Market Place. Fun for all ages and all
levels of fitness, it is not a timed raced – as it says on the packet, it is
just for fun – so if you are not a runner you can walk as much of the route as
you like! Click here to register online today!
Santa’s Grotto: 2nd – 23rd December
Santa Claus is in his Newbury grotto – Saturday 2 and
Sunday 3 December, and again from Thursday 14 until Saturday 23 December - and just
longing to know what’s on your wish list! (Then he has to nip back to the North
Pole to load up his sleigh once more for his biggest delivery night of all on
Christmas Eve.)

Choir of 1,000 Voices & Late Night Shopping
With just days to go until Christmas Day itself, one
of the most wonderful nights of the year in Newbury is on Thursday 14 December
when many town centre shops stay open until 8pm for you to bag a Christmas
bargain and tick more items off your shopping list.
During the Late Night Shopping & Choir of 1,000 Voices evening, as has become a Newbury tradition,
the town will be filled with the voices of local choirs who will be signing at
different spots around the town before gathering around the magnificent
Christmas tree in the Market Place to create once more a Choir of 1,000 Voices.
Do go along at 7pm and join in this fantastic festive singalong!
Newbury BID will provide entertainment for all the
family to enjoy during this event, with children's rides, Christmas activity
workshop, roving entertainers and donkey rides, so it is going to be a spectacular,
fun-filled festive evening.
And remember, Santa Claus will also be in his grotto while
all this is happening on 14 December, so pop along and tell him whether you’ve
been naughty or nice!
In the meantime, stay tuned to @VisitNewbury social
media for all the latest event updates.
Happy Christmas countdown everyone!
