Local retirement village to host festive Christmas market for Caddington community
Millfield Green Retirement Village, owned and operated by Inspired Villages, is opening its doors to residents and the wider community for its annual Christmas Market and a chance to meet Santa Claus, who will be making a special visit to greet guests throughout the afternoon. The event takes place on Friday 12th December, from 12pm to 3pm.
The festive market will showcase a variety of independent makers, local craftspeople and businesses including Baked by K, ‘Got to Have It Clothing’, Appledown Rescue, Tropic Skincare and children’s author - Lou Treleaven. Visitors can browse handmade gifts and enjoy seasonal treats.
A selection of festive food and drink offerings – freshly prepared by Millfield Green’s talented chefs - will be available for guests to purchase, providing the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon of Christmas shopping and community celebration.
Scott McCartney, Village Manager at Millfield Green commented: “Our Christmas Market is a fantastic opportunity for residents and the local community to come together and celebrate the festive season. Supporting local businesses is incredibly important to us and we’re delighted to welcome Appledown Rescue, a charity that means so much to the residents and team here at Millfield Green.”
As part of the festive programme, Millfield Green is proud to be supporting Appledown Rescue - a local dog charity - with a dedicated stall selling dog toys and accessories, alongside a festive raffle with a Christmas hamper to be won. All proceeds will go directly to the charity, supporting their vital work across the local area.
