Hungerford Arcade was full steam ahead this evening for the 26th Hungerford Extravaganza. We and all the other shops in the town stayed open until 9.00 pm. The town looked beautiful with the huge Christmas tree and lights up and down the High Street added to the atmosphere. There was great excitement when the fabulous Extravaganza took off at 7.00 pm with the Grand Parade lead by the exceptional Reading Scottish Pipe Band, the Hungerford Theatre Company, Churches, Lanterns and of course, Father Christmas on his magical wheels and much, much more. There was street food, lots of stalls and the fantastic fun fair. Arcade stallholders, Trevor and Jane Elliman had their Christmas wreaths and garland stand and Rafters Cafe had delicious hotdogs and burgers sizzling away.
Take a look at our pictures (this is just a small part of the Extravaganza) and you will see why it attracts thousands of people many of whom travel considerable distances every year to come to this event.
