🎄✨ THANK YOU, EAST BERGHOLT! ✨🎄
What an incredible afternoon! Yesterday’s 🎄CHRISTMAS MARKET was exceptionally busy — it felt like the whole village came out, filling the car park and The Red Lion Garden with a brilliant community atmosphere. It was a fantastic day from start to finish. ❤️🎅
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to support the event, browse the stalls 🛍️, enjoy the music 🎶, and soak up the start of the Christmas season together. Your support means everything. 🎁
💛 WITH THANKS TO…
We are incredibly grateful to the organisations who awarded us grants that funded this year’s market:
• Councillor Sallie Davies | Babergh District Council 🏛️
• East Bergholt Parish Council 🏘️ — and thank you for the use of the car park 🚗
• East Bergholt Community Council 🤝
Their support enabled us to run the event for the whole village.
To Jenna at Events Under Canvas for the brilliant tipi ⛺ that created such a great focal point — and a special thank you to Kirt, who kept everything running smoothly by managing all the electrics ⚡
To Sam and his staff at The Red Lion 🍷, our fantastic hosts — the garden looked wonderful and the pub was absolutely buzzing. Thank you for welcoming us so wholeheartedly.
To The Suffolk Slappers 🎸 — you were fantastic, and we’re delighted you want to join us again next year!
To all our amazing stallholders 🛍️ — too many to list, but each of you brought something special, from gifts and homeware to jewellery, bakes 🍪 and Christmas treats 🎄.
And a big thank you to our High Street neighbours 🏘️ who joined in:
Gaia, Larder, Grier’s Estate Agents, The Potting Shed Bakery, and St Mary's Church East Bergholt ⛪ with their beautiful Towering Trees Festival (running again today, 11am–4pm!) 🌟
We’re already hearing excitement for next year… so who knows — we may well do it all again! 🎉
Thank you, East Bergholt, for your incredible support. ❤️
With love,
Louise Smith & Nicki Reed
