I would like to begin by expressing our sincere gratitude to Good Travel Management | Your Human-Led Corporate Travel Team and Laura Busby for their generous sponsorship of our Christmas Market last Saturday, not only this, they also donated their time for the whole day which is more than we couldve asked for!
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Electric Daisy for hosting the event, as well as to all the volunteers and stallholders whose contributions made this event a massive success.
Despite a rainy start, the weather improved as the day went on, leading more and more people turning up, just when we thought that was it… PEOPLE JUST KEPT COMING!!!!! Santa kept busy with present requests, our smoor makers were not only kept warm by the fire but also how busy they were making smoors for everyone, and the stallholders maintained a steady flow of customers throughout the day.
It was wonderful to see both familiar faces and new families attending our Christmas market. Many attendees shared positive feedback about their experiences, which is ultimately what matters most.
The spirit of Christmas is rooted in giving, sharing, and togetherness, and I am proud to say that we successfully embodied these values on Saturday.
Thank you all once again for your efforts.
