With Christmas fast approaching, the festive spirit is starting to build in Berry. The celebrations will step up a notch with the Grand Christmas Street Parade on Saturday 13th December, bringing colour, community cheer and even a Santa sighting to Queen Street. To help you tick off your shopping list, we have rounded up some thoughtful gift ideas from Berry’s beautiful independent stores in our Gift Guide below.

It is a wonderful time to plan a pre-Christmas visit to Berry – enjoy relaxed shopping, delicious dining and the welcoming atmosphere that makes this time of year so special in our town.

This year’s Grand Christmas Street Parade will take place on Saturday 13th December from 11.30am. The parade is always packed with colour and cheer, featuring a huge array of floats, fire engines, vintage cars, community groups and, of course, a special appearance from Santa himself as the procession makes its way along Queen Street.

With the parade shifting to a late-morning start, the afternoon is now yours to enjoy the town’s festive atmosphere. It is the perfect chance to settle in for lunch at a local café before wandering through Berry’s boutiques and independent stores to tick off your Christmas shopping list.

A huge thank you to the Rotary Club of Berry for organising this fantastic event.
