Ash Fantasia 2024 30th November

Fantasia

Each year Ash celebrates the start of the Christmas Season by holding a Christmas Market at the Ash Centre (Ash Fantasia 2024). This year it will start a new time of 1 pm – 4:30 pm on Saturday 30th of November. Stalls will be located both inside and outside the Ash Centre. The Ash Centre will be full of local organisations, charities and businesses with lots of fun, games and present ideas. Refreshments will also be available.

At 4:30 pm the Ash Vale Ensemble band will play Christmas carol music in front of the Christmas Tree on Wharf Road. Residents are invited to join in by singing along to the Christmas carols. The event culminates with the arrival of Santa at 16:45 who will be turning on the Christmas Lights throughout the Parish at 5 pm.

Ash Parish Councillor John Tonks said:

“This event is often very well attended and I am very pleased to be helping to organise this year’s event. If you have never visited the market at the Ash Centre, please give it a try this year as there are many good causes to support with some great items for sale. Also thank you to your sponsors, the Dover Garage, Jewl Windows and  Bridges who provide the power for the Christmas Tree lights.”
