Chipping Sodbury Victorian Day is back! Friday 4 December 2pm to 9.30pm


The Chipping Sodbury Victorian Day Committee has again organised the event with the intention of improving on the fantastic success of last year.

The committee is drawn from the Sodbury and Dodington Councils, Chipping Sodbury Lions and Rotary Clubs, the Festival Society and representatives from local schools and traders.

The event starts at 2:00pm when school choirs will perform in the street along with other entertainers from two stages. Snow machines will produce the winter atmosphere and Father Christmas in his sleigh will parade through the town at 6:45pm.

The streets will be lined with stalls from local charities and organisations and include 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. Victorian dress will be worn by many to further enhance the atmosphere.

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

Food will be available 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 will be lined with Christmas lights and trees decorated by local schools and nursery groups.

Also late night shopping…
... an Ideal time to get your Christmas shopping, order your Turkey, Christmas drinks or flowers

Street Closures - Chipping Sodbury Broad Street will be closed from 1:00pm to 10:00pm.
High Street, Horse Street, Hatters Lane, Wickwar Road and Hounds Road will be closed to all traffic from 4:00pm to 10:00pm.
