Thame goes all-out for Advent
24 events and activities are planned in the town this month
Thame are kicking Advent off in style - with 24 events planned in the lead up to Christmas.
From doorstep carol singing to Nativity dress-up days, the Town Council say the community has worked hard to make sure festivities can happen, despite restrictions.
What will be happening in Thame?
Thame Town Council has been working hard with Community groups and businesses across Thame who have rallied together to put on a feast of activities and mini-events for everyone.
There will be Art exhibitions, Gift fairs, and Street Food markets - all delivered in Covid-safe environments; plenty of Christmas trails, including Thame's first ever 'ADVENTure Trail', an illuminated outdoor 'Window Wanderland' and a 'Christmas Spirits Trail' to do on your phone; there will be Doorstep Carol singing, Pop-up Carol singers from Thame Choral Society and unexpected visits from the cast of 'Babes in the Woods' -Thame Players January Panto; Children can get involved in Christmas Crafts, an online Christingle, a Giant Nutcracker and Great Nativity Dress up days and 'much much more', the Council promise.
The Town Council said:
"Thank you to ASM Auto Recycling for donating the tree, Thame Cars for sponsoring our Giant Nutcracker, Lucy Electric for supporting our Window Wanderland and to Martin & Co Estate Agents for supporting the printing of our booklet.
