🎃 Thank you, Downham Market!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Halloween Fun Day yesterday. It was brilliant to see so many families enjoying the activities, dressing up and getting into the Halloween spirit.

We’d also like to thank everyone who helped make the day possible, from our suppliers and stallholders to the volunteers and everyone working behind the scenes.

We hope you had as much fun as we did. 👻🧡

Here are just a few photos from the day!

The Mayor and Town Council of Downham Market would like to congratulate Syed Anwar Ali and all at the Downham Tandoori Restaurant for their recent achievement of winning an Editor's Choice Award at the 2026 Curry Life Awards which took place in Park Lane London earlier in October.

The Mayor, Councillor Barrie Wiles, said "these awards celebrate the excellence and diversity of the Indian food industry over the whole of the United Kingdom and this achievement by everyone at the Downham Tandoori Restaurant is a well deserved honour which highlights the incredible standard of their wares".
