Hello all. Just a reminder that this coming Saturday and Sunday the town will be hosting it’s annual Smokers Fair in the Market Square, and as with previous years it coincides with a traditional Germanic ”Weihnachten” Christmas Fair. With tens of stalls lining the high street it’s sure to be a wonderful weekend for nicotine addicts and sauerkraut lovers of all ages and the ideal place to do all your festive shopping.

All the events will be held outdoors, with the exception of the pot smokers pottery classes and sausage making drop-in sessions which will both take place in a shed behind the abbatoir.

Great news for all the family; the pubs will be open from 8am Saturday and stay open until 11.30pm on Sunday night to cater for the expected coachloads of heavy drinking, lederhosen wearing, teutonic smokers.
