Introducing ‘It’s a must’

Welcome to the Barnstaple Christmas programme where you will find details of our packed festive line-up. Such is the popularity of the town’s Christmas festivities that our events are even bigger this year, starting with the Christmas Light Switch on at The Square on Sunday November 20th with the fantastic Dionne Bromfield as the headline act.

As always, we aim to make this an event for all the family. Along with a traditional fair on The Strand, a host of musical acts on the main stage, the day is going to be filled with fun and festive spirit.

We would like to thank all the businesses that have supported our Christmas activities, in particular our main sponsor, the Co-Operative Group. We would also like to thank all of our other sponsors, who you will see advertising in this brochure, and in addition Artavia Advertising for their marketing support plus of course our invaluable volunteers who help with so much throughout this period.

This year we have teamed up once again with the North Devon Hospice. You can show your support by purchasing a ticket in their bumper draw and be in with a chance to win the first prize of £5,000.

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas

Barnstaple Town Centre Management

Separate Christmas Theatre listings are featured inside this leaflet.

Barnstaple’s new branding was initiated by BiD Barnstaple and created by Artavia, to introduce Barnstaple as a must-visit for both residents and businesses. The aim is to raise the profile of Barnstaple and give it an identity and personality of its own. The key to the rebrand is to bring the community together to take pride and act as brand ambassadors promoting Barnstaple as a ‘must’ for shopping, eating out, fresh produce and services to name but a few.

Make sure to keep a look out for ‘It’s a must’ in the upcoming months.

Taking place on the Square on Sunday 20th November this will be one of the South Wests leading Christmas events. Join your hosts Seth Conway from ITV Westcountry and BBC Radio Devon’s Richard Green together with Matt and Caroline from Heart for a day of fabulous festivities.

Our High Street boasts over 60 quality stores and you are sure to find a magical gift or that special something amongst an incredible variety of traders in Boutport St, Joy St, Market St, Tuly St, Cross St, Bear St, Queen St and Holland & Gammon Walks.

When you want a break, there is a superb range of cafés and restaurants in the town where you can enjoy some festive cheer. For evening entertainment, Barnstaple has a choice of pubs to enjoy a drink with friends or you could catch the latest film at our award-winning independent cinema or a show or panto at the Queen’s Theatre. Whatever your choice, there is something for everyone.

Make a date in your diary for Sunday 20th November and join us in the Town Centre for our fabulous Christmas launch event and light switch on.

With a traditional fun fair for the children on The Strand and street entertainers, this is a great day out for all the family, culminating in the Big Switch on of Barnstaple’s stunning Christmas lights, which this year are bigger and better than ever. Come early - this event is hugely popular with all ages!

Barnstaple’s strength as a town lies in being able to offer everyone a unique visitor experience. With its eclectic mix of well known high street brands and independent traders there’s something for everyone. Added to the mix is a wide range of quality Cafés, Pubs, and Restaurants. As a result of this, Barnstaple town centre continues to attract new businesses.

We would encourage everyone to explore what Barnstaple has to offer and support the traders who make it possible for Barnstaple to offer it’s unique and wide range of goods and services. This customer loyalty, combined with a unique mix of retailers and services will ensure that Barnstaple maintains a thriving Town Centre for the future.
