There was a lot happening in Abingdon today.

Trinity had a Christmas Fair.

St Helen’s had a Christmas Market.

At Trinity, one of the stalls was selling Christmas cards and decorations made by Trinity’s Friendship Group.

At St Helen’s one of the stalls was selling books written by the Rector of St Helen’s, Revd Charles Miller, together with poetry books by Rowan Williams.

On the Market Place there was a Local Excellence Market – the first of three weekend events organised by Abingdon-on-Thames Chamber of Commerce. Next Saturday is the Christmas Extravaganza, and the week after is the Christmas Craft Market.

Would you like to switch on the Christmas lights at the Extravaganza? Find as many elfs as you can in the town’s shop windows to get the chance.

There is one elf in the shop where you can buy My First Christmas neckerchiefs.
