FARNHAM Town Council is putting together a free guide to Christmas events and activities happening in Farnham.

Anybody who is holding a Christmas-related event in the weeks leading up to Christmas can submit details for inclusion in the guide.

In previous years, the guide has included information about school Christmas fayres, markets, where to meet Santa and details about church services.

Jill Hargreaves, the council’s lead member for tourism and events, said: “This is the fourth year running that we have put together this guide and it always proves to be very popular.

“It never ceases to amaze me how many different activities there are in the weeks before Christmas.

“We think it is important to tell people what is happening in Farnham so that they are encouraged to stay and support their local economy and community rather than going elsewhere for Christmas entertainment.”

More than 10,000 copies of the brochure will be printed and distributed to local businesses, libraries, schools, pubs, museums, voluntary organisations, retailers and residents and the town council office in South Street.

Events will be listed free of charge and details should be emailed by Friday, October 30, to [email protected].

In addition, events can also be listed on the town council’s events calendar at www.farnham.gov.uk/events.
