Enjoy Milford on Sea: Milford becomes Magical on Saturday

A highlight of the year, the Magical Milford Christmas Light Switch On, combined with Carols on the Green will be held on Saturday 30th November 2024 starting at 5pm.

Carols on the Green will feature the Milford on Sea Primary School Choir, and our ever popular village adult choir, Total Voice led by Christine Mulgrew. Proceeds will be led by representatives of village churches.

Father Christmas has confirmed he will be stopping off at the village with presents for the children again this year.

His grotto can be found in The Retreat Beauty & Health from 4pm until 6.30pm. The cost is £4 per child and each will receive a gift. If you have the correct money that will help.

Sea Road Car Park will have free parking all day on 30th November 2024.

Still Raising Funds to Cover Costs:

Community event organisers, Diana & Tracy still need donations towards covering the cost of trees, lights, decorations, fixing nativity scenes, booking in qualified electricians and more...

So far they have raised just over £900 for generous locals, but they are still around 40% short of their target.

If you would like to make a donation towards this, or next year, please click here. Any amount is gratefully received to keep this wonderful village event going.

Thanks Go To:
