The space will be transformed with hay bale seating, a pop up Gin Bar, cocktails and a converted horse cart pub.

For the children, there will be train rides, igloo snowball fights, Santa’s grotto, a snowboard simulator and a gaming bus.

The event is organised by Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council . They say the festive period is an especially magical time for children - which is why all entertainment and rides are free for families.

The town council has been working with local traders and crafters to organised the festive market, which will have a "fantastic range" of gifts and treats on offer.

Town council chair Cllr Ethaniel Kelly-Wilson said: “The Town Council is delighted to be bringing the festivities back to Bletchley town centre with our biggest event to date. It is a great opportunity to help support the high street, local independent businesses and is a taster of what is to come in the future. We are excited to bring the community together safely and in line with Covid-19 guidelines.”

The event will run 11am-5pm and you can find out more on the Town Council’s website or on the Festive Family Fun Day Facebook Event page here.
