Brecon With Bells On is Back

This year’s Christmas Extravaganza, Brecon with Bells On, will once again take place in the streets of Brecon, on Saturday 19th November, 12 - 6pm.

There will be entertainment on stage and on screen in the Bulwark from 12 noon, until the switching on of the Christmas lights at 6pm.

Two marquees situated outside the Guildhall and St Mary’s Church, as well as stalls in the street, will be selling festive items and delicious refreshments.The Market Hall will house the monthly Craft Fair.

There will be a Santa’s Grotto at the Market Hall Vaults, children’s magic shows and pedal power scalextric racing at the Guildhall, arts and crafts sessions at y Gaer, and even a visit from a friendly polar bear. All free of charge!

This year’s best dressed shop/business window competition theme is Climate Change. With everyone facing cost of living increases, upcycled decorations and using recycled materials is at the heart of this theme, and entertainment on the day will also be linked to climate change. Judging will take place after 12 noon Wednesday 16th November so please have your windows ready by then.

This fabulous event brings the whole community together to show Brecon at its best and twinkling under the Christmas Lights!
