What the Dickens! Market Rasen ready for four days of Christmas celebrations

Market Rasen Town Council have announced their forthcoming plans for a traditional Dickensian festive season.

On Wednesday 6 December 2023, the Christmas Tree and festive lights will be going up in the Market Place, ready for the start of the celebratory season.

The Town Council will also be organising a special light event and children’s party in the Market Place on the same day, with free hot dogs for the under 12’s. Food will be on sale too with music from 4pm to 6pm.

On Friday 8 December, a Rotary and Civic Carol Service is to be held in the Methodist Chapel on Union Street from 6.30pm onwards.

The town’s annual Christmas Market will take place on Saturday 9 December in the Market Place. To light up the event there will be stalls, entertainment and refreshments from 12pm to 4pm.

There will be a Dickensian theme throughout town and people are being encouraged to dress up – no Ebenezer Scrooges allowed! Independent shops are also to come on board with a shop window competition.

Finally, after the success from last year’s Santa Run, plans for this year’s Santa Run arranged by the Rotary, will be held on Sunday 10 December 2023.

Cllr Jo Pilley, Mayor of Market Rasen, expressed her excitement for the upcoming themed events. She said: “With Christmas close at hand, it is the season of hospitality, merriment and openheartedness. We call to our friends and family around us to join us for these special events in celebrating Christmas and the work of Charles Dickens.”
