Drimpton’s Outdoor Christmas Market – Saturday, 11th December

After the success of their 1st Outdoor Christmas Market last year which so many enjoyed, Drimpton are planning their 2nd OUTDOOR CHRISTMAS MARKET to be held in the open at Drimpton Village Hall on Saturday 11th December from 4pm. (Weather and Covid permitting!)
Just like last year, the Market will have gazebos for stalls and braziers for warmth, so we should be able to socially distance and stay safe while enjoying ourselves. If you have a gazebo you could lend them for the day, that would be really very helpful.
Maybe you would like to have a stall and trade? There will be no charge for your pitch, but a donation would be appreciated as the Market’s proceeds will be split between CLIC SARGENT (which delivers care to children with cancer and their families) and Drimpton Village Hall.
As well as individual stalls there will be a village stall, and contributions for it would be wonderful. No jumble please.
If you would like to book a stall/pitch, or if you would like somebody to collect your donations for the village stall, or if have a spare gazebo you can lend, please contact:
  • Francesca – 01308 8676I7,
  • Lesley – 01308 86724I or
  • Kate – 01308 868843.
More details will follow, and this will include news about Santa, Carols, Lights and maybe some surprise entertainment at the Christmas Market…

Advent windows:

Rev. Jo is coordinating Broadwindsor’s Advent windows (More HERE) and Francesca Hurrell is Drimpton’s coordinator.

Last Christmas, Drimpton’s villagers produced a fabulous display of Advent windows around the village (as shown in the picture) and they were a great success, with different households creating a display so each day from the 1st to 24th December had a window. The windows created a wonderful Yuletide atmosphere throughout the village, with many people venturing out each evening to view the latest creations. They are planning to do them again this year.
The theme this time is ‘The Heart of Christmas’, which can be interpreted in any way you choose, the more imaginative the better!
On the first night there will be just one window lit. On the next night a second window will join in. On the next night a third, and so on till we hope there is a whole chain of illuminated decorated windows around the village.
If you would like to participate, let Francesca know on 01308 8676I7 with a preferred date and you’ll be added to the list 🙂
