Costume contest announced for Hungerford's Victorian Extravaganza

GET your urchin outfits or glad rags on for the Best Victorian Costume competition at the 30th Hungerford Victorian Extravaganza.

The event takes place on Friday, December 9.

Festivities will kick off at 5pm with a Christmas street fair of stalls, Santa's grotto, Victorian carol singers, steam engines, Christmas fairy on stilts, festive food and drinks, big wheel, fairground rides and games for the little ones.

Costume judging will be at 6pm on the Town Hall steps and the categories are: Best Couple, Best Adult, Best Family and Best Child.

Prizes will be donated by Hungerford Legal & Financial Centre and entrants will be invited to join the parade at 7.30pm which promises to be more spectacular than ever this year.

The event is organised by Hungerford Chamber of Commerce and entry is free.

Hungerford Christmas Lights are considered by many to be the best in the south of England, adding a sprinkle of fairy dust onto the town, and this is a wonderful night to enjoy them.
