Viva Lewes Issue #159 December 2019

LEWES
LATE NIGHT
SHOPPING
THURSDAY 5TH DECEMBER, 6-9PM
Whether you’re just starting to think about Christmas shopping or
you’re super organised, and simply need to pick up a few finishing
touches, enjoy an evening of strolling around the town for inspiration.
The High Street will be pedestrianised from the bottleneck to the
bottom of School Hill from 6 to 9pm and all the Lewes pay and display
car parks will be free for the evening after 5pm. Many of the shops,
fairs and galleries will be offering discounts, workshops, quizzes and
delicious festive treats to get you in the Christmas spirit.
Look out for all the street entertainment as you roam. Music will
fill the streets from choirs, bands and bell ringers. There are Morris
dancers, horse and carriage rides and the castle will be busy with the
children’s Fireflies competition followed by performances from younger
entertainers. There’ll be street food, fairground rides and, of course,
Father Christmas will be stopping off at Lewes House.
Lewes is going to feel at its best: a busy medieval County town
on market day. Be sure to check out the shop windows. There’s a
competition for the best-dressed window and Deputy Mayor
Stephen Catlin has the tricky job of picking the winners.
