Can you can help?

A £1,500 fundraising target is now in place to help towards the £6,500 staging this festive community event, which makes the village looks so magical at Christmas.

These funds go towards buying all of the Christmas trees, renew or repair the nativity scenes, employ qualified electricians to sort out the cabling and wire the lights to the trees on the green, plus fix the traders trees into the brackets complete with battery light.

There is also need to cover the purchase of commercial grade lights, to replace and add to the displays. Plus, annual storage fees for all the decorations & materials, and any unforeseen expenses!
