A Festive Celebration of Success and Community

Monday 9th December, 2024

The Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce marked the start of the festive season with its Annual Christmas Lunch on Friday, 6th December 2024. Held at the delightful Old Vicarage Hotel, the event brought together 31 attendees for an afternoon filled with delicious food, warm camaraderie, and holiday cheer.

Guests were treated to exceptional food and service from the team at The Old Vicarage Hotel. Adding a personal festive touch, Dawn Hurd supplied beautifully handmade Christmas crackers for each table.

The Annual Christmas Lunch has become a cherished tradition, creating a space for the Chamber’s members to celebrate the year’s achievements and look forward to the opportunities of the year ahead.

It was great to see so many familiar faces in a relaxed and festive atmosphere. These events are a nice break from formal networking, helping to build a sense of community as we look back on the year and ahead to what’s next.

Roger Smith

The Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce extends its thanks to everyone who attended and to The Old Vicarage Hotel for their outstanding hospitality. A special thank-you goes to Dawn Hurd for her thoughtful contributions and to Anthony Joseph for capturing the spirit of the event.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
