Thanks to everyone who turned out for the Christmas in Glossop events over the past couple of weeks.

Both of the Glossopdale Trust events (Lights Switch on and the All is Calm performance in old Glossop) were packed out. With over 200 people watching All is Calm last Sunday Evening, Old Glossop Church was filled to capacity. Success of events like this go to demonstrate the need for a bigger venue in Glossop for this type of performance.

Together with the Christmas Market on 29th Nov and the Victorian Market on 7th Dec, hopefully you will agree that this was a great way for the community to get together to kick off the Festive season.

Thanks to Anthony McKeown for some great photographs from the switch on and Christmas market. You can see them here on his Flickr feed.

Chair of the Glossop Creative Trust. I live in Glossop with my wife Janet, For my day job, I run BSA Marketing, a marketing company based in the Glossop Gasworks building on Arundel Street. In my spare time, I love walking and cycling in the beautiful countryside around Glossop, eating out and catching gigs in some of the great pubs in the town. I was also heavily involved (with fellow board members Jay Beard and Steve Massey) in organising the Bankswood and Town Hall Sessions Music Festivals. All in all, I think Glossop is a great town and, through the work of the Glossop Creative Trust, would like to see it put on the map in terms of Arts & Music and Creative industries.
