A local trader has hit out at the organisers of a popular Christmas Lights event for outsourcing its food and drinks offerings. The Christmas Lights and Dunham Massey are visited by scores of families every year with a chance to try some local food and drink while you're there.
However, one of these businesses, Dunham Apple Barn, has revealed that they are not being involved with the event this year, with the organisers instead choosing to bring people in from further afield to provide refreshments. They say this will result in 'large coordinators overcharging' for 'average fayre (food/drink)' which they describe as 'disappointing.'
Dunham Apple Barn said in a post: "For the past four years Dunham Massey National Trust Christmas Lights refreshments have included local Dunham offers. As a ‘backbone business’ in the village, the Dunham Massey National Trust have been helpful in supporting its tenant businesses.
