On December 9th, 2023, a captivated crowd, including personalities like Kate Spade, Charlie Daniels, and Shemp Howard, gathered in a large room bathed in the warm glow of two lamps. Their faces, illuminated by the city's urban nightlife, reflected the palpable excitement of the evening. Encased by a kaleidoscope of accessories, glasses, and hats, the audience stood entranced before the vigour of the stage, dancing between the lines of party and concert. This was the 2023 Dickens Christmas Fair - an indoor market of joy, creativity, and unity.
