The late night shopping event returned to Oakham this year with festive sparkle and beautiful gift stalls.

Organised by Carolyn Acton Events, the Late Night Shopping Event in Oakham was a triumph last night (9 December) with fairground rides, singing from local primary schools, delicious food and drinks, stalls by local makers and a brilliant display of community spirit.
