Accrington\u2019s town centre is set for a festive boost after Chamber of Trade members and SDA joined forces to launch this year\u2019s Christmas flyer.<\/p>\n

\"Ray<\/a><\/p>\n

The project follows the success of a 2013 Christmas leaflet drop which saw some businesses enjoy a 50% upturn in trade in the lead-up to the festive period.<\/p>\n

Now, traders have taken even more of an active role in Accrington\u2019s December festivities by helping to organise special Christmas events too.<\/p>\n

A total of 45,000 Christmas flyers have been designed and printed by SDA\u00a0in conjunction with Hyndburn Council.<\/p>\n

Hyndburn\u2019s 36,000 homes will receive a copy of the flyer through their letterboxes, while each of the borough\u2019s schools will also receive copies to send home with pupils.<\/p>\n

Leisure centres and libraries will also be stocked up with the flyer, which features around 50 Accrington shops and services as well as information on how to shop online at Accrington Market for collection or delivery.\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Hyndburn Chamber of Trade members Jim Saron from Bailey\u2019s Menswear, Julie O\u2019Hara from Barbara Kay\u2019s and Raymond Astley from Archway Footwear are helping to organise two events taking in December.<\/p>\n

Saturday 13 December will see Broadway transformed for a Wonderful Winter Fayre, with free mulled wine, chestnuts and mince pies as well as children\u2019s entertainment, rides, choir and jazz band.<\/p>\n

The following Saturday, 20 December, there will be a pipe band, family fun and Christmas markets in the town centre, while Santa will be giving away cuddly toys and sweets in the Arndale Centre from 12 noon until 3pm.<\/p>\n

The festive fun kicks off on Thursday 27 November with fireworks and a performance by Britain\u2019s Got Talent\u2019s Jai McDowall for the Christmas Lights Switch On event, while Santa\u2019s Grotto in the Market Hall opens every weekend from Saturday 6 December.<\/p>\n
