A range of fun activities will take place across Wokingham town centre on Sunday, November 26 as part of the annual Winter Carnival.
With the regeneration works, some of the regular events will be in different places this year and there is, sadly, no parade at the end of the day – but there will be a special surprise after the carol singing.
We’ll be there throughout the day taking pictures, so look out for us – and enjoy your day!
Remember, entry is free and the town centre car parks run by Wokingham Borough Council are free after 3pm, and £1 before.
