Councillor Kimberley Whitehead, Portfolio Holder for Culture, Heritage and Sport said:
“We’re thrilled to bring the magic of Christmas to Hyndburn once again. The light switch-ons are a wonderful opportunity for families, friends, and our community to come together and celebrate the festive season. These events showcase the best of Hyndburn, as people from all walks of life come together to enjoy the occasion.
Merry Christmas from me and everyone at Hyndburn Council.”
The Christmas Festivities go beyond the traditional light switch-ons, with several more Council sponsored events in November and December.
From 27th to 30th November, Accrington Community Events bring you the Christmas Tree Festival. Beautiful, weird and wacky trees decorated by local businesses and organisations will be on display for all to visit at Dome in Accrington Town Centre, including a free Santa’s Grotto on Saturday 29th November.
On 6th December, enjoy a brand-new event for this year, as KSE Events bring Twilight to Rhyddings Park, Oswaldtwistle. During the event you can immerse yourself on an illuminated tour through the park, providing its own unique vibe, including fairy garden, silent disco and winter wonderland.
On 11th December, join the festive fun at the Community Solutions’ Christmas Markets in Gatty Park, Church. Handcrafted Christmas gift stalls, festive treats to enjoy, Christmas carols to fill the air, raffle and tombola prizes.
Finally, it’s going to be a Christmas to remember in Great Harwood as hometown star Michelle Hendriks, lead singer of the UK’s top Blondie tribute band Blondied, returns to where it all began to headline this year’s Great Harwood Christmas Extravaganza on 13th December.
