Christmas Trail
Wednesday December 8
That was fun! Nearly 100 children plus parents dressed ‘festive’ and followed a route around Topsham to bag some festive treats. 17 businesses took part around town providing some incredible goodies before the young residents reached a Santa-stic pitstop at Topsham Museum’s snowy gardens.
Christmas Competition
Topsham’s residents rose to the challenge! May mad their homes super-festive and entered our Christmas Windows Competition. A £30 gift voucher was won by Rogan Meadows for the best entry and Jodie Pym and Polly Arthers were awarded the runners-up prixes of £10 vouchers to spend in town. Well done!
Winter of Sounds
Saturday December 4, 11, 18
Throughout December on Saturdays up to the 18th, during the day street musicians have provided live music to encourage people to spend a little longer in town to secure those special gifts. We’ve enjoyed listening to Jimmy Ireland, Drew Mason and Fingers ‘n’ Fumbs. Last up is Unexpected item in Bagging Area and Chris Ostler on December 18.
