Chipping Sodbury Victorian Day - Lots of fun for everyone...

Chipping Sodbury's Victorian Day 2009 was held on Friday December 4th, when school choirs performed in Broad Street along with other entertainers from two stages.

Snow machines created the Winter atmosphere and Father Christmas in his sleigh paraded through the town at 6.45pm.

The streets were lined with stalls from local charities and organisations and included old time amusements, a traditional fairground including a Ferris wheel, Helter Skelter and children’s rides as well as Traction Engines and traditional fairground organs.

Many people wore Victorian dress to further enhance the atmosphere.

Entertainment during the event included School choirs, carol singers, bell ringers, a Punch and Judy show, Alfredo the magical clown, brass bands, solo vocalist, the Morris Men and a best dressed window competition.

There was food from all the local food outlets, along with the ever popular Pig Roast and stalls selling traditional Mulled Wine and Mince Pies, sweets and other fare.

As usual the streets were lined with Christmas lights and trees decorated by local schools and nursery groups.
