Malling Mail 3
SANTA will be making an early start to his rounds with a visit to West Malling High Street on Sunday,
November 27, for the big switch- on of the town’s Christmas lights.
The ceremony is part of a day packed with fun and entertainment and also promotes local charities.
The monthly West Malling Farmers Market takes place in the morning between 9.30am and 1.30pm and offers a wide range of local produce including bread, meat, cheese, fish, cakes, wines and juices.
After doing your shopping why not have lunch in one of the local restaurants or pubs then go on to the Christmas Lights festivities in the High Street between 3pm and 5pm on the same day.
The December Farmers Market will move forward to the third Sunday of the month
(December 18) and this will be one of the last chances to stock up on locally produced festive foods before Christmas.

The event itself is not designed to make money. There is an opportunity to commemorate a loved one with a light on the Christmas Tree, and a memorial board listing all the names of those being remembered. Proceeds of this are ring-fenced for charity, principally Age Concern.
During the weeks following the switch-on, Father Christmas goes house-to-house on his sleigh, areas and timing subject to the weather and air traffic control restrictions.
