A festive Christmas market will be coming to Braintree and Bocking Public Garden next weekend.
The market will have many unique and jolly stalls, along with a festive atmosphere with a brass band, carol singers and fairground rides, and Santa’s Grotto.
There will also be a grand Christmas Raffle and prize draw, with tickets for £1 to enter and prizes of £250, £150, and £50 for the first three places.
“We will have handmade crafts, speciality gifts, gourmet food, a fully stocked bar, mulled wine, a Santa’s Grotto, fairground rides, carol singers, a brass band and more.
“We also have an exciting light trail that will lead through the beautiful lower half of the gardens.”
“Local companies have come together to help make this as Christmassy as possible, with CJ Yates Construction Ltd offering to build and supply a Santa’s Sleigh with accompanying reindeers, which was painted by local artist Mark Whittaker.
“Chinnery Carpets, Dulux Decorator Centre B&Q Braintree have also donated carpet, paint and some decorations.
“There are still some spaces for stalls and we welcome any support from local businesses who would like to be involved.
“We can’t wait to see you there!”
The gardens have been situated in Bocking End since 1888.
