📢 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: CHRISTMAS MARKET POSTPONED ❌

Due to the high winds forecast for tomorrow (Saturday 6th December), we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Swanage Rotary Christmas Market.

Your safety and that of our stallholders and volunteers, must come first.

We will confirm a new date within the next day or two, and we’ll share updates here as soon as possible.

We sincerely apologise to everyone affected, especially those who have travelled to Swanage for the event.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

— Swanage Rotary 🎄✨
