Get Ready for a Magical Evening at the Christmas VW Camper & Classic Convoy Christmas Market in Swadlincote!
Central Aircooled Dubz is thrilled to announce the inaugural Christmas VW Camper & Classic Convoy Christmas Market this Saturday, December 7th, from 12:00 noon until 8:00 PM. This festive event promises a wonderful day for the whole family, combining holiday cheer with local flair to support the fantastic charity Miles for Smiles.
Held in the heart of Swadlincote, attendees will be treated to a vibrant array of activities and entertainment, starting at noon. Explore a fantastic selection of trade and craft stalls, indulge in local food vendors, enjoy a cold beverage at the bars, and let the little ones have fun with children’s fairground rides and a visit to Santa. Visitors can also enjoy live music and marvel at the static vehicle displays, which will feature beautifully decorated classic VW Campervans and Beetles.
One of the event's most anticipated highlights is the illuminated VW Camper & Beetle convoy, which will begin arriving on Swadlincote High Street at 3:00 PM. The convoy will showcase a stunning collection of Christmas-themed vehicles, and judging for the best decorated vehicles will take place until 5:30 PM. At 6:00 PM, the convoy will depart on a fundraising tour of Swadlincote, Overseal, Moira, Ashby, Woodville, Newhall, Brizlincote, and Stapenhill before returning to the High Street by 7:15 PM.
Prizes will be awarded for the best illuminated vehicle in the convoy and the best-dressed trade stall at 7:30 PM.
Don’t forget to complete the Town Trail, where participants will have the chance to win a trip in one of the VW Campers to Drayton Manor Theme Park on the 14th December!
This event is all about raising funds for Miles for Smiles, a charity that works to bring joy and support to local children in need. It's a fantastic way for the community to come together and celebrate the season of giving.
Come along for a fun-filled day of festivities, local shopping, entertainment, and charitable spirit. We look forward to seeing you there!
Despite the weather forecast for tomorrow the event is still proceeding, with many of the traders being located undercover in the former Market Hall on Midland Road.
