A Best Festive Dog and Owner competition, belly dancing, vintage cars and Santa in his grotto are just some of the attractions that will be at the first Addington Street Christmas fair next weekend.
The Addington Street Community group, which won this year’s Obelisk award for best event, have a packed programme of attractions for the day.
More than 60 residents and businesses have been cutting and sewing to create reams of Banksy-style bunting to decorate the street for the event.
Looping the Loop performance company have joined the fun to bring a mobile Santa’s grotto and elves and the day will be rounded off with carol singing, mince pies and handmade lanterns – including the snow dog from Ramsgate’s light switch on parade – in Liverpool Lawns.
