There's another event to add to Shepton Mallet's increasing busy Christmas calendar, with a pop-up Christmas extravaganza getting underway at Kilver Court at the beginning of next month.

The extravaganza will take place at Kilver Court, supporting Promiseworks - a Glastonbury-based charity that offers mentoring services to disadvantaged children and young adults across the county.

This year's pop-up events will take place on Friday, December 2 and Saturday, December 3 between 10am and 5pm, with free entry.

The Pop-Up Christmas event will offer a wide selection of food, fashion, beauty, jewellery and much more.

A spokesperson for the shopping centre said: "We are so excited to be able to welcome you back to Kilver Court Christmas Pop-Up and in our humble opinion, it is going to be the best one yet – there won't be anywhere else you will need to go to fulfil your Christmas Shopping needs, with something for everyone and plenty to go around we can't wait to see you there."

Confirmed exhibitors include Girls Own Store, Harth Chocolate, Henrietta Bevan, Hog & Tallow, House of Hummingbird, Hunter & Collector, Jessie Alcatraz Studio Pottery, Lara SD Jewellery and of course, Brothers Cider.

PROMISEworks General manager, Ali Hart said "We are so thrilled to have been given the opportunity to reach out to so many of you and ask for your support at the Pop-Up Christmas at Kilver Court. Our mentors make an enormous difference to the child or young person they are matched with, simply by being a source of calm and constant support. Whether your mentoring time involves walking a dog, playing a sport, undertaking a craft activity or just chatting over a drink and a snack, the trusted friendship that develops helps to build self-esteem, resilience and emotional wellbeing."

Organisers have also announced the Kilver Court Gardens will be open from 10am, with last entry at 2pm, for the duration of the Pop-Up Christmas event with special entry prices of £5.50 per adult and £3.50 for Children aged seven years and older. Entry is free for children under the age of seven.
