Light Up Night 2024!

A big ‘Thank You’ to everyone who was involved in Light Up Night.

Such a big turn out and the weather stayed dry for us.

Our Light Up Night event has grown and developed over the years, and would not be possible without so many people volunteering and working behind the scenes. The list below shows how many people are involved to make this event a huge success. We hope we haven’t missed anyone!

Our biggest ‘Thank You’ goes to Cllr Amy May for co-ordinating the whole event, organising sponsors and putting new ideas into practice.
