The Emsworth Christmas Lights Switch On

Join us in St Peter's Square on the 2nd of December for the start of Emsworth Christmas festivities! The fun starts from 5.15pm with community carol singing & music, and the all-important arrival of Father Christmas. Come and see the amazing Lobster Pot Christmas Tree - an Emsworth tradition! At The Blue Bell there will be mulled wine, and face painting by the very talented Ellie Veness. Live music from Adam Ede from 8pm-11pm.

Christmas Market Day

Emsworth celebrates Hampshire Farmers' Market featuring plenty of local businesses for Christmas food and sweet treats. This is in St Peter's Square. There will also be carols round the Lobster Pot Christmas Tree with the 'Village Voices' choir supporting the RNLI.
