According to BBC Radio 1, November 1 is the time when Christmas really kicks off. With the merry tones of Mariah blasting out across the office on said day, we decided it was time to join in the spirit and begin planning for silly season.
So, with our merry drummers drumming, here is a little list of our 5 GOLD RINGS THINGS to do in the lead up to Christmas. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, our little list includes a small selection of all that is on offer just a stone's throw from our Calvermont HQ, in the centre of the lovely Royal Tunbridge Wells.
Local clients, we hope we’ll see you there. And those further afield, perhaps we can tempt you over here? After all, if you can’t say it at Christmas, when can you?
1. Hurling into our top spot at high speed is Bavarian Curling. Where better to get in the winter spirit than on the local ice rink surrounded by festive stalls aplenty. Returning to Tunbridge Wells for its twelfth consecutive year, the Twelfth Night connection isn’t lost on us either…!
2. Get your skates on quick, as our next choice is already underway. One Warwick Park has been hosting a series of artisan gift markets which are a treasure trove of crafty products. With just one market still to go on November 20th , make sure you don’t miss out.
3. To further fill that stocking (kids we’re talking about Santa here), then head to the wonderful Wealden Times Midwinter Fair at the Hop Farm anytime between November 17th-19th. The South-East’s largest shopping event, this year there are an incredible 260 businesses taking part so an amazing opportunity to support them.
4. Talking of the kids, Trinity Theatre has a brilliant programme of productions for all of the family. Laugh your Christmas stockings off (sorry) at The Aliens who Saved Christmas, or enjoy a classic Christmas movie brought to life at Miracle on 34th Street.
5. To create your very own classic Christmas space at home too, then head to a festive wreath and candle making workshop with The Outdoor Candle Company. Bring home a fabulous wreath for your door and discover ways to add atmosphere with seasonal candle scents too.
Are you a local business with something fun planned for Christmas? If so, get in touch and we'll give you a Christmas discount if you're local, for any piece of media coverage we place for you, and for no charge at all, send us your stories and we’ll share them across our @calvermontsocial Instagram feed.
Merry Christmas one and all.
