ROMSEY’S build-up to Christmas continues with a festive late night Christmas shopping event tonight when many traders will stay open until 9pm.

There will also be a lantern parade through the streets at 5.30pm and school bands playing festive music.

Street entertainment will also be provided for young children and even Father Christmas is hoping to make an appearance.

There does seem to be some confusion about the exact coordinates for his sleigh’s Grotto Positioning System!
