Whether you are a local resident or visiting from nearby areas, this gathering offers a perfect way to kick off the festive season with memorable activities and a welcoming atmosphere.
What to Expect at the Christmas Tree Lighting
The highlight of the evening is, of course, the lighting of the Christmas Tree. As the lights sparkle and illuminate the surroundings, the event will create a magical moment for everyone present. But the fun doesn’t stop there.
Craft Activities for Children
Children attending the event will have the chance to enjoy a variety of craft activities designed to spark their creativity and keep them entertained. These hands-on projects are perfect for kids of all ages and provide a wonderful opportunity for families to bond while making festive decorations or gifts.
A Special Visitor in a Red Suit
No Christmas celebration is complete without a visit from the man in the red suit. Santa Claus is expected to make an appearance, delighting children and adults alike. This is a great chance for kids to share their Christmas wishes and maybe even get a photo with Santa to remember the occasion.
The Christmas tree lighting will brighten the heart of Monk Bretton, bringing festive cheer to the community.
Join in Singing Traditional Carols
Music is a key part of the festive spirit, and the event will feature singing of classic Christmas carols. Everyone is encouraged to join in and sing along, creating a joyful and inclusive atmosphere. Carols bring people together, and this shared experience will add to the warmth of the evening.
Refreshments and Community Gathering
