Sandy Town Council: Christmas Light Switch On Event: Sunday 3rd December 2023
Date Added: 07/11/2023
Sandy Town Council looks forward to spreading Christmas cheer with residents and visitors to Sandy on Sunday 3rd December 2023 from 12 – 5pm in the Market Square. With the event now being back in the hands of the council, we are excited to be taking this on and want to express our appreciation and thanks to the Friends of Sandy Christmas Lights for the many years of tireless dedication and support that they have given to the event.
We are excited to announce that Britannia Pharmacy did an excellent job of raising £1,500 to fund our Christmas tree by diverting funds from their jigsaw and book sale to the Christmas Lights event for a couple of months. We were overwhelmed to see the generous support of the community and thank you so much for your contribution.
Our Christmas illuminations are provided by Sandy Town Council, however, the event itself is costly to run, and we rely on donations and volunteer support to make the event a real success. If you would like to support the event financially, you or your business would of course be recognised for your generosity by having your name printed on promotional banners and in our event material.
Please get in touch with ‘[email protected]’ if you are interested in sponsorship or volunteer opportunities.
Visitors will enjoy all the usual, much-loved attractions and entertainments, including a funfair, a buzzing Christmas Market, Santa’s Grotto, stage acts including local schools and bands, street entertainment including an illuminated fairy and, of course, the all-important Christmas lights switch on by the Carnival Stars Gabriel Jai Dalmeida (age 10) from St Swithun’s Primary School and Ennis Dowler (age 9) from Maple Tree Primary school.
We look forward to seeing you there!
