Fordingbridge Events Group has cancelled its Christmas Glow event, which was due to take place from 2.30-7pm this Saturday 11 December in the car park near Roundhill in Fordingbridge.

Nicky Jenkins, chairman of the group, said: “We are gutted about cancelling the event but in the current climate with the pandemic and updates about Omicron, many of the stalls and entertainment booked have had to pull out. We don’t want our first event back after such a long break to be a compromise and a big let-down, so it is with regret that we have taken this decision.”

Around Fordingbridge, retailers and other organisations are still holding events including a craft fayre at URC, kids’ activities at the Created by You courtyard and a Star Wars themed event at the Town Hall by All The Cool Stuff.
