The weekend has arrived again and Christmas is suddenly right in front of us. The shops are buzzing, the roads are jammed and the pace of the season is impossible to miss. I hope you’re doing well as we head into the holidays. If you’re struggling or need support, reply to this email and we’ll connect you with someone who can help.

Broxtown will take a short break closer to Christmas Day, but for now we’ve pulled together a full list of events running this weekend through to New Year’s Eve. If there’s something happening that we haven’t included, send it over and we’ll add it.

We’re also getting in touch with the winners of the Broxtown Community Champion Awards and will be sharing photos as their prizes are presented. We’ve got a few more editions to come before we wrap up for the year. For now, here’s what’s on across the borough this weekend and beyond.

If you'd like to show your appreciation for our work or share a bit of Christmas generosity, you can use the Buy Me a Coffee link below. Thank you in advance.
