The Town Mayor, Councillor Sean Lee, will switch on the stunning new lights, accompanied by Chloe Chapman the winner of the ‘Design the Mayor’s Christmas Card’ competition. Additional performances will occur throughout the evening, featuring River Beach Primary School, Churches Nativity, and others.

Speaking of the fantastic event, Chair of Policy and Finance, Councillor Alan Butcher said: “This event is always spectacular as it brings together everybody as one community in celebration of this special time of year. Children especially can enjoy rides at the funfair, watch live performances and maybe see Santa in his grotto. It is great to see many town centre businesses joining in with the festivities and staying open late for this event. I would like to express our gratitude to Kamson’s Pharmacy for offering two empty units to host the children’s workshops and Santa’s Grotto.”

Visitors will be able to enjoy free parking at the Manor House car park from 12:00 on the day and use the disc parking scheme to benefit from 2 hours free parking in other Town Centre car parks.
