As Christmas Day approaches, Overton's local pubs are preparing to welcome festive revelers looking to enjoy a pint, a festive drink, or a bit of holiday cheer. Here's a rundown of the opening times for the village's favourite watering holes...
A little shop on the High Street in Overton will reopen to sell Christmas gifts from tomorrow.
Renasci Designs on the junction with Red Lion Lane will open again as a retail shop from Saturday 11th November stocking Christmas gifts.
The shop closed as a retail outlet during lockdown and concentrated on being a workshop, while selling their home décor, gifts and artisan products, revived with Frenchic Paint online.
Owner Gaynor Francis told Overton Radio, “I used to be open until Covid hit, then when I did open again, the economy took a downturn.
“But, I love Christmas and this little shop is perfect for Christmas.”
As well as her own products, Gaynor is stocking items from other local businesses. Gaynor says, “I have Hannah from Verbose Design in with her beautiful silver jewellery, Jo South with lovely coasters and tea-towels and we have the Candle Collective who have the best candles ever. Fact”.
Additional products on sale from tomorrow include artisan soaps from Marianna London, popular warm crocheted hats from Perky Puffin as well as Pick’n’Mix bags, Christmas Decorations and Chocolate Reindeer.
‘Hot Chocolate Bombs’ and Christmas themed chocolates from Choccabox will be stocked in the store soon.
We loved having Gaynor on the radio this morning as part ofour Thanks A Million campaign to encourage local shopping. We wish her well with her ‘pretty little shop’ as we heard towards Christmas.
We hope you’ll support Gaynor’s enterprise and pop in to see her many, many gift ideas for Christmas.
