Welcome to the Axminster Christmas Together information page.
Do you live on your own or are worried about spending Christmas Day alone this year?
Why not book a place at the Axminster Christmas Together Christmas Lunch at 12:30 (for 13:00) on 25th December at Axminster Guildhall?
Axminster Christmas Together (A.C.T) is a fantastic organisation which has been teaming up with the local community since 2015 to hosts a free community Christmas lunch on Christmas Day every year for anyone who would otherwise be spending the day alone. Everyone who attends, either as a guest or a volunteer, enjoys the company of a diverse group of people with all the warmth, fun, food and festivities that every Christmas should have.
If you receive support from a carer, they are also welcome, but both of you will need to book a place by the closing date as availability is limited. Transport is also available for those who would struggle to get to the Guildhall but this must be booked in advance.
There is no charge for the A.C.T Christmas lunch, but they do accept donations toward the cost of running the event each year.
Enquiries should be directed to Lesley at 01297 33420 or email A.C.T at: AxminsterChristmas@gmail.com
