A reminder that the Widcombe Christmas Market is being held on Saturday 16 November from 10.30am to 5.30pm and on Sunday 17 November from 10.30am to 4pm. It will be at the Widcombe Social Club and the Natural Theatre Company on both days and at St Matthew’s Church on Saturday only.

This will be  an excellent opportunity to do some festive shopping and support independent traders and craftspeople.

WIDCOMBE MAGAZINE: WINTER 20204

The Winter edition of the magazine is now available. If, for some reason, you have not received a copy you can now collect one from Prior Park Garden Centre and various outlets in Widcombe Parade.

The magazine has had a facelift. It is slightly larger in format and the layout has been changed to make it more readable. We hope you like the new design.
