Bungay Christmas Market 2007


The final street market of the year in Bungay will be the annual Christmas Market on Sunday 2nd December.

As usual, Earsham Street, in the centre of town, will be closed between 7am and 6.00pm with the market opening at approx. 9am.

This year, however, demand for stalls has been phenomenal and will the kind permission of Mark Heigham, the new owner, there will be additional stalls in the car park of the Castle Inn.

There will now be over 90 stalls selling a full range of Christmas related goods. A number of stalls will also be selling the usual popular selection of drinks and hot food including John Groom’s traditional Hog Roast and The Bahn Thai.

The Castle Inn, Fisher Theatre, Kings Head and a number of other local establishments will also be open for those seeking a more substantial drink or snack. St Peter’s Brewery will also be selling their famous local ales.

Father Christmas will be arriving on his horse drawn carriage at 11.00am and will stopping in his grotto at the Toy and Gift Emporium.

Entertainment will be provided including a band, traditional carol singing, and a number of local musicians. The Old Glory Molly Men will be parading through the street in the early afternoon.

Despite early appalling weather last year the event still was very popular and this year the fair will be even bigger with be an additional 20+ stalls. It is no idle boast that this year promises to be the best ever event.

All the markets prove to be a popular attraction for the Town, with attendance from visitors increasing each year. The Christmas market especially, has a unique atmosphere with lights and entertainment.

The variety of goods, many of which are produced locally, makes the Christmas Fair makes an enjoyable day out for all the family. Free car parking will be available throughout the town.
