An annual day of festive fun is approaching.

The Epping Christmas Market will be held on December 5 in the town centre, with shopping and food stalls, and music provided by Epping primary school pupils and the Epping Forest Band.

The market will run from midday to 8pm and will also feature performances from dancers and circus acts.

Epping Quaker Meeting House in Hemnall Street will also be open to the public on the day, offering visitors to the market a chance to relax and enjoy refreshments in a candlelit garden.
