There is something rather lovely about a village green at Christmas, especially when the whole community comes together to make an evening of it.
Twinkle on the Green returns to Braunston on Sunday 6th December 2026, bringing Santa, Christmas stalls, music, food, a funfair and plenty of festive atmosphere to the heart of the village.
Running from 4pm to 6pm, it is one of those local Christmas events that feels simple in the best possible way.
Wrap up warm, head down to The Green and enjoy a couple of hours of festive fun with family, friends and familiar faces.

Santa is coming to Braunston
Santa will be joining the celebrations on The Green, making this a particularly nice event for families with younger children.
There is something much more personal about seeing Father Christmas in the middle of the village rather than making a trip to a big shopping centre.
It gives children the excitement of seeing Santa while the rest of the family can enjoy everything else happening around the Green.
Christmas stalls and festive shopping
The event will feature stalls selling Christmas gifts, giving visitors the chance to browse while enjoying the evening.
Village Christmas events are often a good place to find something a little different, particularly when local makers and small traders are involved.
Even if the Christmas shopping is already under control, having a wander around the stalls with a hot drink in hand is all part of the evening.
Christmas in the heart of Braunston
The setting is a big part of what makes Twinkle on the Green special.
Braunston’s Green sits right at the heart of the village, close to the Village Hall and surrounded by the streets and homes that give this part of Braunston its character.
When the lights are on, the music is playing and the community is out together, it should feel properly festive.
This is not a huge commercial Christmas event.
It is a village Christmas celebration, and that is exactly its appeal.
