🎄Evesham’s festive spirit is getting national recognition!
The town’s Nutcracker Trail, which transformed the streets with 20 majestic nutcracker figures, has been officially shortlisted for Best Christmas Campaign at the 2025 SCEPTRE Awards. 🏆
Running through the festive season, the trail combined interactive fun, local history, and plenty of family-friendly charm, driving footfall and drawing crowds into the town centre.
Each nutcracker had its own personality and linked to local tales, creating a brilliant blend of tradition and creativity.
The campaign lit up social media, boosted local business visibility, and brought the community together in a joyful celebration.
Winners will be announced in October — fingers crossed for Evesham! 🤞

What a weekend! Who else went to the "Christmas in July" spectacular at The Valley? 🎄🐧
Santa was there rocking his Hawaiian shirt, and the Apple Barn was serving a delicious Christmas dinner with all the trimmings!
It was so much fun, and a huge highlight was definitely the special visit from our festive friends, the penguins, all the way from the North Pole (or Chipping Norton Zoo!).
Well done to The Valley on such a great event.
