Town Trail
24 Town Centre shops took part in last year’s town trail themed the ‘Snowflake Search’. Look out for the launch of the 2018 Town Trail in the Autumn. Don’t forget, the winner will get to help push the plunger on Thame’s Christmas Lights this year and there will once again be some great runner-up prizes!
Entertainment
We are currently looking for local performance groups to perform at the event in either the Town Hall, Masonic Hall, main area podium or ‘pop-up’ entertainment around the event. Get in touch via info@thametowncouncil.gov.uk if you are interested!
