Five unusual ways to get into the festive spirit in Oakham this Christmas
By Grace Kennington 14th Dec 2025
Fairy lights are going up and advent calendars are being opened as we rapidly approach Christmas.
Every year, we have a traditional selection of events on the run-up to Christmas, including Carol concerts, Christingle and the big Christmas Light Switch On.
However, there is also a lot of more non-traditional events going on, giving local a unique way to get into the festive spirit.
