Janine Nicholson from the East Preston Friends of St Barnabas, which is doing a raffle at the village hall, was looking forward to the Italian food market in Sea Road and the lantern parade through the shops in the north of the village. She said: “The kids spend the day making the lanterns, and once it goes dark, Father Christmas leads the parade and it feels quite Christmassy.”
The Conservative Hall in Sea Road will once again be transformed into the Miles Ahead Music Club with a range of singers and a film.
