A spokesperson for Prestatyn Business Forum added: "As business owners of Prestatyn, the forum wanted to get plans underway for Christmas nice and early.

“Together, we put our ideas and plans for an extravaganza, and with the support of Prestatyn Town Council, we promise this to be an event not to miss!

“The whole idea of ‘Winter Fest’ is to promote our amazing High Street and what we have to offer our residents, visitors and shoppers.

“We will be kicking off with a two-day Christmas market held in the stunning grounds of The Vicarage and a Santa's grotto experience on the High Street, with entertainment and activities planned in conjunction with Prestatyn Town Council.

“We hope the two-day event will kickstart Christmas shopping on our High Street and will encourage shopping local, while bringing awareness of what we hard-working business owners have to offer.
