Looking for something to do this evening? How about popping along to Wymondham for a mooch through town. Enjoy the live music whilst browsing the shops (we have air con too😉), have a drink and a bite to eat in the cafes and pubs or grab an ice cream or sweet treat from one of the stalls. Full details are below 💚
It's tomorrow! Thursday 30 July (followed by Thurs 27 Aug)
😎Here's the story of the Summer Shopping Evening. It's the story of people working together.
🍺A few months ago your local business owners and leaders of community groups got together upstairs in the The Green Dragon, and decided that we wanted to do something to celebrate summer for those of us who hadn't disappeared off on holiday. Fiona from Middletons Clothing went out looking for buskers, Tracy from Kett's Books worked on finding food vendors, and Gabi from made us a page on the Visit Wymondham website - and talked to Wymondham Town Council to get us generous permission to use the market square.
💪Kieran from The White Hart, Doug who isn't on Facebook, and a few other helpers put up posters and then got the giant banner into place at the top of Fairland Street. Victoria from Victoria Jane gave us some pointers on organising, and Chris from Wymondham Heritage Museum got some bunting up for us. Oh and he also organised for Wymondham Abbey Church to be open for our visitors, with the cafe and the garden doors thrown wide open.
👐And then the businesses started saying they'll be open. Visit Wymondham report that - **in addition to all those businesses we mentioned before** - Williams & Parfitt Antiques and Interiors will be open, as well as Mad Hatters Tea Shop, Hemstock's Jewellers, Caley's Apothecary, Elementals Magickal Emporium, Fosters Solicitors, Leslie Terrance home gift and garden and That Little Norfolk Shop & Studio. (They'll have ice cream down near the monument, so go and find them!)
🎸 To add to the atmosphere we've got music. We've got Lelia Valois, Tim Sadler, and Rock Choir • Choirs led by Emily Robinson performing.
🍩🍦🍟Oh and food! Mr Frosty's ice cream Norwich, and both **gyros and churros!** Plus all our regular evening food will be available: The Feathers, The Wise Monkeys,
☀️ On top of all that, we've managed to do the impossible and just about guarantee sunshine and dry weather. The only thing we don't know, is will you be there?
⛱️ Dig out your pocket money and come and join the fun, we can't wait to see you! 🤩
