THE ANCIENT market town of St Albans – 20 minutes by train from London – has created a walled Christmas village for its Christmas Market, which opened on November 26 and runs until December 20.
It’s in the Vintry Garden, in the old quarter of the town and in the shadow of the 11th century St Albans Cathedral … and close to what is claimed to be oldest pub in England, Ye Olde Fighting Cocks.
… and Henley on Thames
The town’s Christmas festival on December 4 runs from 4pm to 10pm. The town centre streets close to traffic, fairground rides appear, shops stay open and stalls offer mulled wine, mince pies, and seasonal goodies. The evening starts with a children's lantern parade and the Christmas tree lights switch on, accompanied by carol singing in the market place.
Henley Symphony Orchestra gives two family-focused performances at Christ Church Centre on December 13. The first at 4pm invites children aged 2-6, (younger siblings welcome) to experience a live orchestra and learn a little about the instruments with audience participation. The evening concert for families starts at 6.30pm and will be followed by mulled wine and mince pies.
