Action-packed Cookham Christmas Street Fayre to take place

An action-packed festive programme is lined up for this Sunday as the Cookham Christmas Street Fayre returns for another year.

The popular event has been taking place in the village since the 1980s and looks to celebrate local businesses.

Stalls boasting everything from food and drink to crafts, artwork, jewellery and clothing will line the High Street, ready for customers to browse.

Visitors will be able to enjoy mulled wine at the free-to-attend event.

The fayre will be a hive of activity between noon and 4pm, with treats including rides for youngsters, Santa’s Grotto and live entertainment from a host of bands, choirs and children’s groups.

The Tuneless Choir will be taking centre stage as well as the Cookham Kids Singing Group and local bands including West Street.

The fayre, which is being organised by Cookham Village Events, will conclude with community carol singing, led by Adam Garrett of High Street business Devine Flowers.

There will be parking available at The Chartered Institute of Marketing.

Kate Winrow-Davies, a member of the organising team, said: “It’s a really good trading day for businesses, especially if the weather is good because it brings in lots of people.

“They really can showcase what they’ve got and so we would hope that it will be a really successful day for all our local businesses and the High Street businesses.”
