This week the P pod joins in the festivities at the Petersfield Christmas Festival Market.  Our town is transformed into a festive wonderland full of stalls and shops, choirs singing carols, mince pies, mulled wine and more.

Based at Shine Radio’s brand new shiny gazebo, manned by some enthusiastic volunteers, we chat to various stall holders and Alan Cosh talks ‘potholes’.

The Petersfield Post’s Jon Walker dons his Santa hat to bring you this week’s local news and Suzie joins some friends for a Wilde Walk at Lurgashall.

We end the P pod with an appropriately Christmassy song from Tobiah and her track ‘Golden Christmas Time’.

The P pod is presented by Claire Vennis and Joff Lacey.
