Eddington Winter Warmer and Knights Park festive market return
Eddington’s Winter Warmer event will take place again over three days and will include the return of the Knights Park festive market.
Eddington Square is due to be transformed into a festive village from Friday, 29 November until Sunday, 1 December.
Home to a lodge bar, drinks including mulled wine and cider, boozy hot chocolate and a range of non-alcoholic beverages will be on offer, along with hearty Yorkshire wraps, German sausages, hot chestnuts, and homemade crumble desserts, from 4-9pm on the Friday and from 12-9pm on the Saturday and Sunday.
A community sing-along with New Life Church will take place at 6pm on the Friday, before Ely-based sea shanty band Isle ‘Ave a Shanty perform traditional sea shanties and folk songs at 7.30pm.
A children’s funfair and market stalls will be in place on the Saturday and Sunday from 12-6pm and more acts are planned for the weekend, including CSD Brass at 1pm and 2pm on the Saturday, followed by singer-songwriter Sean O’Hanrahan at 4pm and a festive quiz at the bar at 7pm, before singer, pianist, choir director and Rock Choir Leader Sam Herbert performs popular tunes and festive favourites at 2pm on the Sunday.
Meanwhile, from 12-4pm over the weekend, the Knights Park festive market will take place for the third year in the grounds of the Hyatt Centric/Turing Locke Hotel. Thirty local, independent stallholders will offer bespoke arts, crafts and tasty goods from local, independent traders.
Visitors will have the opportunity to win a luxury hamper, with each stallholder contributing to the prize, which will be given away in a raffle.
All proceeds will be donated to homelessness charity Jimmy’s Cambridge.
Anyone can take part by donating a minimum of £2 and following instructions on the JustGiving page (tinyurl.com/3rzr5ebf).
