Overton Christmas Market: The Countdown Is On

The Overton Christmas Market returns on Saturday 25th November in the Community Centre forecourt.

Organised by the Overton Business Association and Open Overton, the event will bring the community together to start the build up to the festive season.

There will be a wide range of stalls from local businesses, as well as some fantastic food and drink to enjoy. Father Christmas and Rocky the Reindeer will also be present to greet the village children.

There will be live music as well from local musicians and community groups, and BBC Breakfast’s Mike Bushell will be there to turn on the Christmas tree lights at 4.30pm.

Overton Radio’s Rob Francis will be broadcasting from the market throughout the afternoon, and will be compering the day as well. You’re more than welcome to come and say hello to the Overton Radio team, who will be around to answer any questions about Overton Radio throughout the day.
