December 7, 2000 9:31: JUST days into December and the festive season is already well under way.
Bexleyheath Broadway was transformed into something like a scene from a Christmas card when volunteers from the Greenwich and Bexley Cottage Hospice staged a Victorian festival.
With stallholders in Victorian costume, there were stalls, sideshows, live entertainment and Victorian-style foods.
At Hall Place, in Bourne Road, Bexley, they delved even further back into Christmas history to the Tudor roots of the Great Hall.
The public was invited in literally to deck the hall with boughs of holly and other kinds of foliage.
There were fun things for the family to make and, to add to the historic happenings, during the Christmas holidays, children can follow a tricky Tudor trail.
