Victorian Christmas Fayre
Melton Mowbray Town Centre
2nd December 2012
The Victorian Fayre From 10am, the streets
will come alive with entertainment and merriment for all to enjoy.
Stall
holders and shopkeepers all dressed in Victorian clothing.
Mulled wine
brewing, chestnuts roasting, dancers dancing, singers singing, the list
just goes on and on. Local foods are a plenty and if you fancy a sit
down to rest your weary legs after all the shopping that you are able to
do from the many stalls on offer,
Melton Mowbray has many restaurants
and hostelries to tempt you in.
Santa
and his elves will of course be in attendance, so you can give him your
wish list, in the hope that you have been good and he pops down your
chimney on the 25th
Many local entertainers are booked.
Those dreadful
street beggars I am sure will be there - watch out for them,
they have a
habit of creeping up and pecking the ladies on the cheek.
Morris
dancers, Victorian Dancing - join in - they will be more than happy to
teach you.
No
Victorian event would be complete without the great lady herself -
Queen Victoria, who will be walking through the town, talking about her
life and what went on in the period of history.
Local school children
have been encouraged to learn about this wonderful era and have been
asked to dress accordingly for that time. Happening history - are a
couple who invite the children to play with replica toys and games, so
do look out for them.
The Hurdy -gurdy and the Hammer Dolcimer will be
playing - what is that I hear you ask, well come and find out.
Throughout
the entire weekend, the fabulous Christmas Tree Festival at St Marys
Church is taking place alongside the Crib Festival at Sage Cross Church -
both now to be missed - magical! For timings for these,
