Village ready for Christmas event
THE Historic Village Herberton will kick off the festive season with its annual Christmas shopping event this Saturday from 4pm to 8pm.
Held in conjunction with the Herberton Twilight Christmas Markets, this year’s event will bring together around 30 market stalls offering handcrafted gifts, local products, and Christmas treats.
Visitors can enjoy complimentary wine and cheese, food tastings, and Christmas cooking while browsing the stalls and supporting local makers.
The village gift shop will also offer 20% off store-wide, providing an opportunity to get a head start on Christmas shopping.
Manager David Ritchie said combining the village’s annual Christmas shopping event with the Herberton Twilight Christmas markets would make this year’s celebration even bigger.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together, support local makers, and get some Christmas shopping done while enjoying an evening in the village,” he said.
“We have also moved the event to a Saturday for the first time, so we are hoping to see plenty of people come along, support our local stallholders, and enjoy everything on offer.
“It’s a great way to kick off the festive season.”
