Last year’s Christmas Lights Switch On in Ferndown
Roll up! Roll up! The Ferndown Lights extravaganza with music and Christmas stalls in Penny’s Walk and Santa in his fabulous grotto at the Barrington Centrte, is happening this Saturday, 28 November.
Get to the town early to catch soul and 60s singer Catherine Gray who will start the event soon after midday. Jenny Oag follows at 1.15pm and Evelyn Walsh an hour later. Then prepare to enjoy the Studio One Student Choir as they sing some Christmas tunes from 3.15pm. The headline act, Gugge 2000, will literally burst into action at 4.15pm with their lively and noisy music that is sure to make you happy and get your feet tapping.
All this, along with amusements for the children, stalls, mince pies, mulled wine, doughnuts and roasted chestnuts. Yum!
Call into Ferndown and help fill Penny’s Walk with festive spirit.
And if the kids can’t wait to see Santa, you can take them along to visit him in his grotto between 1.30-2.30pm, 3.30-4.30pm and at around 5.10pm after the lights are switched. The countdown starts at 5pm with the Mayor of Ferndown, Cllr Mrs Julie Robinson and Gugge 2000.
Organised by the Ferndown Chamber of Trade and Commerce, this event will bring a big dose of Christmas cheer to the town – enjoy.
