Heidi Early of Earlybird added: “Last year’s late-night Christmas shopping in Stoke Newington was a really buzzing community event – everyone had a great night. This year even more traders are joining in and we’re planning a real party atmosphere.  It’s our opportunity to thank customers for their support throughout the year, a chance for everyone to let their hair down and a great chance to get some Christmas shopping done.”
