Thankful for the better weather this year, the team swung into action and there was a wonderful atmosphere as an estimated more than 800 people gathered to enjoy singing well-known carols and listen to a short service of blessing, ably accompanied by ‘The Stroke of Genius Big Band’, as well as being served a warm drink and a mince pie! Huge thanks to all who made this event such a success and for everyone who attended to make this a lovely community gathering in our town!Read More →
