Christmas Lights 1st December 2023

 

Once again this year  The Square was packed for the turning on of the Christmas lights. Carols were sung whilst awaiting the arrival of Father Christmas and the big switch on. Father Christmas moved on to his grotto at Emsworth Slipper Sailing Club to meet the younger members of the community. 

Meanwhile those who had parked in the Palmers Road car parkas they walked to the Square found Emsworth Baptist Church Christmas Lane -Christmas lights and music playing. The Church  trailer, served delicious specialty coffee, mulled (non-alcoholic) wine, hot chocolate, and tasty pulled pork baps with apple sauce.  right by a warm fire pit Activities for kids and families .karaoke featuring all your favourite Christmas songs, photo opportunities in festive nativity costumes  and free gift for every child and young person.

A thoroughly good time was had by all!
