Christmas kicks off in Spalding

Christmas kicked off in Spalding with a bang at the weekend.

The town was packed with people enjoying this year’s Christmas Celebration to help get residents and visitors into the spirit.
The event, organised by South Holland District Council, offered a giant snow globe, vintage carousel and swing boat ride, as well as a pop-up vintage theatre from Punch and Judy Inc.
There was also street entertainment, including the cast of this year’s South Holland Centre pantomime – Cinderella – and Santa’s Helpers from Rhubarb Theatre Co.
There was also a variety of gifts, crafts and festive-themed food from local market traders and special visiting stalls.
