Get Ready for 'Stir Up Sunday'

24th November 2024

Stir-up Sunday is a centuries-old tradition where families gather to make their Christmas puddings on the last Sunday before Advent.

Gather your family in your kitchen to mix the ingredients for a fabulous pudding and make your wishes. Making in November allows the pudding flavours to develop.

​Ingredients include dried fruits, brandy, spices, lemons, oranges, eggs, butter, flour, muscavado sugar and blanched almonds.

Chapel Stores stocks a quality range of dried fruit, cherries and nuts from Wiltons Wholefoods, brandy and muscavado sugar at very reasonable prices along with all the other essential ingredients for a delicious pudding.

Wishing you, our customers, staff and volunteers a very Happy Christmas
from the
EBCS Management Committee.
