✨ A Huge Thank You From Sabden Collective! ✨
What an incredible Christmas Market weekend we’ve just had — and all in torrential rain! 🌧️🎄 Despite the weather pouring down all day, our amazing community showed true Northern grit and made it a fantastic event. We honestly couldn’t be prouder. ❤️
A massive thank you to everyone who made it possible:
🎅 Special thanks to Sarah Wright, the driving force behind the markets!
⚡ ICS Live for sorting all the lighting, stage, sound, electrics, Santa's Grotto, and keeping everything running smoothly — with special thanks to Simon, our sound guy!
🛍️ Stall holders — thank you for your donations, for staying all day in tough weather, and for bringing so much festive cheer.
🎶 Our brilliant musicians, performers, and the Sabden Community Choir.
🙏 All our wonderful volunteers who gave their time and energy, with special thanks to Bob Wright and Jeff Capstick for keeping everyone organised!
🎄 Father Christmas and his elves!
🏭 DAC, for letting us use their beautiful space at Union Mill.

And of course, the biggest thank you to everyone who braved the rain to support local businesses — for turning up, donating, shopping, smiling, and making it all worthwhile. Your support means everything to us and to all our makers and traders. 🥰
Despite the weather, the turnout was incredible — a true testament to the spirit of Sabden. We can’t wait for the next one! 🌟
