Marcus Kendall, Chair of the Earlsdon Traders Association said, “Last year’s Victorian shopping evenings were brilliant - there was a really festive atmosphere. If you haven’t visited Earlsdon recently you are sure to be pleasantly surprised at the fabulous array of quality Christmas food, services and gifts available. Earlsdon’s traditional high street is a real rarity these days, it’s just crammed full of small independent shops selling top quality and unusual goods. So, if you are looking for something different and want to enjoy a really festive shopping experience come along to Earlsdon and see what we all have to offer!”
