Friday 21 November - Christmas Lights Switch-on. This is always a fun evening, with music, food and gift stalls all around the town. The Christmas tree hasn't yet appeared but it won't be long. Then there'll be lights up and down most of the main streets. If you want to get involved with a pitch in the Market Place, email tracy@hitchinbid.co.uk now!
Sunday 7 December - Indie Christmas Shopping Day. Support all our local independent stores and get great gifts for all your friends and family. Again, pitches will be available from tracy@hitchinbid.co.uk
Whatever else you do, get down to Hitchin town centre on those days. My aim this year is to get all my Christmas gifts from Hitchin shops. That's a challenge I'm prepared to take on.
Support your local businesses and make your Christmas preparations even easier.
