Dickensian Late Night Shopping Event

The Pocklington Chamber Of Trade have organised a Dickensian Late Night Shopping Event from 6-9pm on 4th December 2008.

There is all sorts of entertainment planned including:-

LIVE REINDEER!!
Snow!!!
Santa's Parade & Grotto
Brass Bands & Carol Singers
Donkey Rides
Tombola
Stalls
Traditional Hand Cranked Rides
Fair Rides on West Green

Many shops in the town will be offering free drinks and nibbles!

The REINDEER will be located in a pen in Market Place for people to see. After all - how often do you ever get a chance to see real live reindeer?

The Chamber have also managed to get the local councillors to go in the STOCKS for you to throw wet sponges (no rotten fruit though - sorry!) with the MAYOR being the first up. Very good of you to be first Jeff!!

We hope to see you all at this magical event and if you fancy joining us in Victorian costume that would be fantastic! Just think of characters from 'Oliver' and you can't go wrong! You can even enter the Fancy Dress Competition on the night!

The Acorn Gallery will open late until 8pm every Thursday from 27th November until 18th December 2008 - why not come along and browse at your leisure!

If you can manage to join us for the Dickensian celebrations then come in and say hello - join us for a glass of champagne with home-made chocolate truffles!
