stone parish council Christmas Light switch on

Join us on Saturday 28th November 2015 for the Stone Parish Annual Christmas Lights switch on.

Santa will be in his grotto for children to visit and have photographs. Pre-sale grotto tickets will be available from Monday 16th November at The Pavilion and cost £1 per child.

Come and meet our Christmas Minion and Tinkerbell, have a ride on the FREE funfair and take part in the children’s activity corner where they can make a Christmas decoration of their choice.

Wander around our Christmas market stalls and attractions, try some festive mulled wine and roasted chestnuts, and listen to Christmas carols being sung by the choir.

The event runs between 4pm-7pm with the light switch on at 6pm.

Why not hire a stall for just £10. It is a great way to promote your business to the local community and make some extra money for Christmas! For more information contact the office or email bookings@stoneparishcouncil.com
