Aldershot Christmas Cracker, 2023

The festive season got started in Aldershot town centre on Saturday 18 November at the Aldershot Christmas Cracker.
The event had over 30 craft, food, community stalls and fun fair rides around the town centre.
The festive fun included a nativity farm and donkeys, Juggling Jake, Lego brick building, free children’s Christmas crafts, face painting, brass bands and a full line-up of live entertainment across three stages.
Children could also meet Father Christmas in his grotto. Performers from local bands, choir and dance schools performed on the main stage.
The highlight of the whole event was the countdown to the Christmas lights switch-on, which took place in Princes Gardens. It included a short firework display and a giant snow machine!
We organised this event with the help of Aldershot Community Together, a group of residents and volunteers who work with the council on projects for the town.
Thank you to everyone who joined us!
