First photos from Marple's Festive Christmas Cracker weekend include Santa's Arrival on New Horizons on Friday, the Santa Dash yesterday and St Martin's Christmas Tree Festival over the whole weekend. Photos from Saturday's Cracker on Market Street will be added as soon as they're available and it would be great to have some from Winter Wonderland too, so please send yours in.

Hi everyone! Just to confirm that the classic bus WILL be running from Wyevale Garden Centre to Marple tomorrow [Sunday 8th] to transport running Santas back to Marple centre.

One or two runs will be made depending on numbers.

Anyone at all is welcome to have a ride, you don't have to be a runner!

If you haven't been up into Marple yet to visit 'The Christmas Cracker' I would certainly recommend it.

It's brilliant. Everyone is walking round with a smile on their face.

Well done Marple Business Forum.

And, once again, you've organised good weather.

We now have more information about Marple Business Forum's planned weekend of festivities to get everyone into the Yuletide spirit – the event is bigger and better with so much more entertainment and attractions for all the family.

Friday 6th December 2013
Will see Santa arriving on New Horizons narrowboat  at Marple Social and Forces Club in Limekiln Lane after gliding along the canal from Goyt Mill past the Ring o' Bells. Please gather at the club from 6.30pm ready to meet Santa where hot drinks and food will be available and drinks from the bar. There will be Hazel Grove Brass Band and carol singers along with sweets, lucky dips and much more for the children. Santa will arrive at 7pm.

Saturday 7th December 10am – 3pm
A traditional Christmas street market with over 30 stalls offering original handmade gift ideas, an array of freshly made hot food, mulled wine and other winter warming refreshments.

Entertainment includes Pantonic Steel Band, Kids Zumba, the ever popular Billerettes, members of Carver Theatre, Doollally Tappers as well as pupils from Brabyns Prep school, All Saints, Rose Hill and St Mary’s Primary schools.

Look out for the exciting walkabouts in Marple, children’s entertainer Barrington Powell renowned for his fun filled magic antics and balloon modelling. Also Sean the juggler who specialises in diabolos, ball manipulation, balloon modelling and much more. Children look for the giant bubbles floating around Market Street by our bubble man! Plus a bouncy castle on Derby Way or have your face painted by Marple Guides.

Don’t forget the Free Father Christmas Grotto where every child will receive a small gift.

Listen to the music from Marple Band and Hazel Grove Band playing around Marple whilst enjoying a mulled wine or sampling the mouth- watering food on offer.

A Traditional Carol service will be held at 12noon accompanied by Hawk Green Band.

The popular lantern procession will set off at 3pm – route to be confirmed.

Children can send their letters to Santa by posting their letters in the special post boxes around Marple – on Stockport Road outside the Cadbury’s newsagent or Stationery Supplies or on Market Street outside Kay Dee Hair and Beauty.

Sunday 8th December
