Robertsbridge Christmas Capers

07/12/2025

Wow! Robertsbridge you are amazing! Thank you for coming out in your masses, in abysmal weather and kicking off 🎄 Christmas 🎄 in Robertsbridge! Your support made the work of the team of volunteers that puts on Capers each year, so worthwhile. 😍

A MASSIVE thank you to The Robertsbridge Club who stepped in at the last minute, decorated the room and made it a space for the High Street stallholders to stay warm and dry!

Thank you to the businesses of Robertsbridge for sponsoring the event and opening, even though it could have been so quiet with the awful weather.

Thank you to Gary Brinklow for the incredible graphic design in the programme.

Thank you to the Darvell (Jeremy Maendel) who helped with set up, tractor rides on the night, supplying the best doughnuts and also helping with the clean up.

Thanks to Robertsbridge Village Market for holding their market on the Friday night in a change to their usual programme.

Thanks to the Marshalls who braved the weather, acted quickly dealing with all the logistics.

Thank you to Ian Clark for being a fantastic MC on the night keeping everyone informed on the night.

Thank you to Anjali Dutt for some wonderful photos. (If anyone else took any photos that we could use to promote future events, we'd be grateful for them).

Thanks to the wonderful choirs Rococo and Primary. Thanks also to of Salehurst School for the fantastic grotto and to Father Christmas for seeing oodles of children!

Thanks to Robertsbridge Parish Council for the road closure and supplying equipment to help with clean up.
Thank you also to l2lwastemanagement for taking all the rubbish away.

And finally, most thanks to brockmanpage for producing such a wonderful lantern parade with your team of helpers (Pam Golding, Elaine Guest and Mellissa Shuttleworth) ! It wouldn't be Capers without you! The lanterns make Capers a very unique and special event and we can't thank you enough!
