Hoping you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year! Thank you so much to everyone who came along to the Oxted Christmas events and activities. The Late Night Shopping event and Christmas Markets were really well attended, despite the chill, and we would like to thank all the businesses, the entertainers, the market stall holders and carol singers for making it such a lovely December.
January is often quite quiet for retail, given the January sales aren’t really such an event any more since online shopping took over. However, many of the shops and businesses do have sales on, so please make sure you head into your local high street to spend your Christmas money!
Here’s a selection of events and activity in OXTED this JANUARY Shop LOCAL, Eat LOCAL, Drink LOCAL, #LOVEOXTED
