As the festive season gets in to full swing final preparations are well underway for the Marlow Chamber of Commerce’s late night shopping event.

Santa Clause and his new grotto with reindeer in tow will make their way to the High Street and children will be able to have their photo taken with a Minion, from Despicable Me, on Thursday December 3.

Students from Great Marlow School and various primary schools will kick off the evening with a short carol service from 6pm.

Christmas shoppers will then be able to enjoy the luxury of late night shopping in Spittal Street, the High Street and West Street until 9pm as the Salvation Army band and Marlow FM keep Christmas spirits high.

The High Street will be closed from 1:30pm on the day.
