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!

Invest in Art!!
Amidst all the doom and gloom about the economy I was pleased to read an article in Yorkshire Life this week that advises that if you have surplus cash or have taken your money out of stocks and shares due to the ups and downs of the stock market then the best place to put your money is in Art & Jewellery!!
As with all things the value of your art may increase but it may also decrease, however if you do your research you may just hit on the next Van Gough,Turner or Constable. I always say to people if you like it and it makes you smile then you will never be disappointed with your decision to buy that unique fantastic original or a very limited edition print. If it goes up in value then thats a bonus.
It has been a quiet two weeks but we are only one week away from Jeff Rowlands appearance and we are busy hanging his new work in preperation for his visit. Jeff's work is going from strength to strength and we have 3 superb original pieces, one oil and two pencil sketches to hang along side his new limited edition prints.
We truly believe that this is Jeff's strongest work todate and hope that you will agree when you see them hung in the gallery. If you would like to come to the appearance on 23rd October between 5-8pm then please contact us for an invite.
Remember Art is the new investment in these times of doom and gloom and we have some stunning pieces for you to invest in!!!
