What's On then this Yule.....
Can anyone bring us up to date with what’s on in and around Accrington this Christmas? Anything worth while for us live away to travel over for? I'd like to see some crafty type things and Freash Farmers Markets and the like. Carol singing, fairs and other festive bits and bobs......

Re: What's On then this Yule.....
The lights are being switched on this Thursday Doug, not sure who's switching them on this year but I think the frivolities start from about 5.30.

Re: What's On then this Yule.....
It's a few years since the Houghton Weavers were there, we've had various 'celebrities' since then, I think it was a robbie williams tribute act last year! Best was a couple of years ago when Jonathan Smith did the honours - unfortunately he didn't sing though.
Haven't seen anything advertised for this year except a small ad in the Observer which just said it was happening this Thursday

Don’t take any notice AccyMad, the littler bleeder was taking the pee. It’s likely to be peeing down anyway so we wouldn’t want them getting wet. It would be nice if something was on to make the effort worth it, even if its only one of those specialist that Mr Tealeaf was referring too.
