Hampton Village Traders Association is once again gearing up for its annual Christmas celebration, which will see Santa touring the village by train!

The event will run from 4pm to 7pm on Sunday December 3 when roads will be closed and traffic will be diverted between 3.30pm until 7.30pm.

Santa will tour the village by train before arriving at his grotto in Station Road. The train will then give rides from one end of the village to the other, with stops in Station Road outside Curves and in Station Approach outside Syzygy.

There will be two stages with live music - one outside Hampton Cellar in Station Approach and one outside Santa's Grotto in Station Road.

As in previous years, Lynda at Hampton Cellar is running a Grand Festive Raffle with loads of great prizes. Make sure you drop in and get your tickets!
