Come join in celebrating the start of the festive season in Highbridge – the celebrations begin with the SEED lantern parade starting at Bank Street carpark next to the Community Hall at 4pm. (To join the lantern parade just turn up on the day with your lantern! )
The Rev’d Little and his guitar will be accompanying children from Churchfield School who will then be singing under the Portico at the Community Hall at 4.30pm, and finally at 5pm the Mayor, Cllr Mike Facey, will switch on the Highbridge Christmas lights.
Refreshments will be available in the Community Hall.
To join in the lantern parade you can make your very own eco-friendly paper bag lantern to carry.
