Christmas lasts longer in Bury St Edmunds

07 Mar 2023

Christmas in Bury St Edmunds will be building on the successes of recent years with a longer series of festive events to support businesses and the local community.

As advertised previously this replaces the larger but shorter traditional Christmas Fayre which was stopped more than two years ago and mirrors decisions made in places such as Lincoln.

The town is set to host a series of events over a longer period of time this Christmas starting in mid-November and continuing well into December.

Work has started early in Bury St Edmunds to make sure festive events boost business and help communities and visitors to have a great Christmas.

More details of the events planned will emerge later in the year however the aim is to deliver entertaining, varied and safe events, with minimal disruption to residents and local businesses.

Crucially, the events will provide an opportunity to showcase all that Bury St Edmunds has to offer to visitors and to encourage return visits.

The Christmas in Bury St Edmunds events will be delivered by a partnership of organisations including: - arc Shopping Centre, Our Bury St Edmunds BID, Bury St Edmunds Town Council, St Edmundsbury Cathedral and West Suffolk Council.

Details will be released on the following website www.christmasinburystedmunds.co.uk. The partners welcome all other organisations who are planning events during the festive period to send their details to Bury St Edmunds and Beyond so that this continues to be the directory of everything that is happening.
