Craft and gift stalls, festive music and family entertainment and a licensed food and drink area for the new ‘beer and brass’ theme introduced for 2014 are among the festival’s highlights.

Bolsover Rotarians are shining up Santa’s sleigh and have created a letter to Santa, which can be downloaded from www.discoverbolsover.co.uk/meet-santa. Children can bring these letters to the festival where there will be a special post box to collect the letters for Father Christmas.
