Lisa Cowley of Independent Street shares her excitement: “After the success of our event earlier this year we are so excited to be back in Newcastle Under Lyme working alongside the BID.
“Christmas is such a special family time, and we are looking forward to putting on a great winter event for you to enjoy. The day will be packed full of festive food, creativity, vibrancy, a few surprises and activities for the whole family. Expect winter warmers, cheeky tipples and festive treats. We can’t wait to see you all there.”
Charlie Machin, Projects & Marketing Executive, adds: “Nothing beats the buzz of Christmas in town set against the back drop of the Christmas lights. The Castle Winter Food & Drink festival sees delicious food, live music and festive vibes for the whole family – even dogs.
“Shop, eat, drink and soak up the Christmas spirit whilst supporting your local high street.”
