Sunday 25th November – Tonbridge Christmas Festival Day, which involves a variety of stalls along the High Street (which is closed to traffic), a parade with marching band, fireworks, entertainment, turning on the Christmas lights and a fun fair. It is all organised, on an annual basis, by the local Rotary group.
The day was not a great one, weather-wise – in fact, it was cloudy and drizzled for an hour or so, but we continued to man the stall until early evening.
This did not put off the locals from visiting the festival, though, and we had a steady stream of customers at the stall, so we were delighted to raise over £130 for the Aquinoe Learning Centre.
