Offer attractions will include a baking competition, Christmas tree throwing and egg throwing.

Plenty of food and drink options will be available, including a hog roast.

Volunteers from Charlie Waller, Newbury Riding for Disabled and West Berks Foodbank will be attending and supplying volunteers to work on the gates.

In return, they will receive a percentage of the gate takings.
