Christmas Market

Cranfield's Christmas Market went off on Friday in Court Road  with a selection  of stalls, a mini-ice rink and singing from Sounds Familiar.  There was tea and coffee in the village hall. A giant snowman welcomed visitors but alas he ran out of puff and deflated gracefully. Revelry continued, nonetheless, and the weather was kind. The only ice worth mentioning was in the rink set up outside the Swan. All photos courtesy of David Moyes

The event was staged to raise funds for the Lower School Academy parent teacher association (PTA).  Other Christmas events this month include Hands Across Cranfield Christmas Dinner and singalong at the University Social Club on Wednesday 19th December;  Carol Service at St Peter and St Paul,  Sunday 16th December  and Carols by Candlelight at the Baptist Church on Sunday 23rd December. See listings in Cranfield Express for full details.
