The Park’s annual Christmas Market was a sell-out success, drawing more than 30 local businesses and over 500 Park members for a lively day of festive shopping, networking and community spirit. Park members browsed stalls filled with local gifts and seasonal treats while enjoying mince pies, mulled wine and gingerbread lattes. The bustling daytime market created a warm, welcoming atmosphere where members supported independent traders and enjoyed spending time together. This year’s market also raised funds for Kickstart Coffee, a social enterprise that channels proceeds from its specialty coffee into education and community development projects in Africa. All stall-holder fees were donated, and thanks to the enthusiasm and generosity of Park members, Kickstart raised £1000, which will help keep 60 teenagers in school learning and fulfilling their dreams. Once again, the Christmas Market showcased the best of the Park, local enterprise and a shared commitment to making a positive impact.
