Christmas Festival 2024

Christmas Festival 2024

On Saturday 30th November, Thrapston High Street officially declared the start of the festive season, with the Christmas Festival taking place. Local performers included Step N Grooves, Ed Handoll, Dean Jones, Thrapston Primary School Choir, Thrapston Plaza Opera and Friends, Thrapston Town Band, Dean Jones, Rock Choir and Dynamix Dance Company.

The side stall games were a great success and a huge thank you goes to all our local sponsors for their support in helping to make them possible - DSV, Ben's Chippy, Neil Mercer, Thrapston Garage, Hermitage House and Chancery Dental. Small local businesses set up in the Plaza and there was an array of beautiful craftmanship and skill for sale. The Mayor's bottle tombola and refreshments raised a fantastic £512.03 for Northamptonshire Health Charity.

Children enjoyed free face painting, a fantastic funfair, costume characters, balloon modelling and the chance to meet the adorable donkeys Delilah and Declan, who were kindly sponsored by Thrapston Farmer's Market. The tree lights were switched on by Thrapston Mayor, Andy McGovern, accompanied by singer Ed Handoll.

A big thank you to everyone who came out to spend their evening with us - we definitely feel it was one of the best we've ever held and we can't wait to make 2025's even bigger and better!
