The Athenaeum Centre will be hosting craft activities with visitors encouraged to look around Wiltshire’s oldest working theatre auditorium. There will be volunteers to show people around the building and the Box Office will also be open, with teas and coffees available.
A Warminster Business Network spokesperson said:
It is great to be able to bring another event to the town centre, following on from previous successes. Increasing footfall, exposure and dwell time within the town centre is incredibly important for all businesses and helps to create a lovely community atmosphere.”
People are encouraged to walk to the event or take public transport as parking will be limited. Parking will be available at Wiltshire Council car parks around Warminster. The High Street and Market Place roads will be closed from 7am until 7pm. Public toilets will be available at The Civic Centre, Sambourne Road, Warminster BA12 8LB.
