Christmas Island and Festive Fringe
UPDATE 25.11.24
Storm Bert has caused the River Avon to burst its banks in Chippenham leaving the Town Centre, Monkton Park and surrounding roads completely flooded. This will have a massive impact on the town and will take some time for the clean-up and repair work to be completed.
The installation of our Christmas Island and Festive Fringe event in partnership with Melt Productions was due to start today, Monday 25 November, on Island Park in Monkton Park ready for opening to the public on Thursday 28 November. Sadly, this area has been flooded making the event installation impossible. We have made the only decision we can at this time, which is to cancel the event, which is very disappointing for us all as we know it is a much-loved community event for the town.
Currently, we continue to prepare for the Christmas Lights Switch On Event on Saturday 30 November, and we will update you should the situation change.
