4 WEEKS UNTIL OUR BAWTRY CHRISTMAS EVENT! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
We hope everyone is looking forward to this one, it’s going to be even better than last year. In attendance, we had over 7000 people turn up to BAWTRY CHRISTMAS TIME LAST YEAR and this year we’re tipped for even more.
Kicking us off this year we have a few businesses providing food, drinks and entertainment.
– The White Hart will be having a group of ponies (from Horse World) on Tickhill Road complete with antlers and red noses! The ponies will be giving children little rides around the town with the route still to be decided upon.
– Roger Tuby will be hosting a fun fair in the White Hart car park which is perfect for the kids. There will also be a steak and venison food van in the car park as well so if you’re hungry why not give it a try.
– Ziniz bar and restaurant will be open for business as usual as well as having an outdoor Bombay Bar. The bar will be on the front street offering a selection of gin cocktails in their Bombay Winter Wonderland.
– China Rose will once again be inviting everyone to buy a wooden heart tree decoration this Christmas with prices at just £2.00. Write a message for a loved one on your wooden heart and hang it on their Remembrance tree which will be in their car park. All proceeds go towards charity. This year proceeds are being split between two charities: PACT (Parents’ Association of Children with Tumours and Leukaemia) which is at the Sheffield Children’s Hospital and the British Heart Foundation.
– Viva Ladies Fashion Boutique will be offering free mince and mulled wine, ideal nourishment for a cold evening. On top of this the Boutique will be offering 10% off of everything in store.
– The Gray Rooms will be running a barbecue whilst also offering pies and peas, proper Yorkshire!
