On Saturday, December 16th, Axbridge Square in the Strawberry Line District is closed to traffic from 5pm as Christmas celebrations take place. Pictured above is a scene from Cheddar’s Festive Night earlier in the month, and similar scenes of live music, carol singing and the arrival of Father Christmas will take place in Axbridge. Every child in the town of primary school age receives a gift from Santa who usually arrives in the Square by horse drawn trap. There’s a pig roast and mulled wine on offer in the community event organised by the Axbridge Sports and Social Club led by Pauline Ham the current mayor of the town.

Axbridge Sports & Social Club was formed on 29th July 1981 to “promote and encourage sporting and social activities within the parish of Axbridge”. If you are interested in helping the club call Pauline on 01934  732062.
