Town hosts Christmas switch-on event

THERE will be free festive fun for all the family when Barnard Castle Town Council holds its Christmas lights switch on event on Friday, December 1.

Festivities start from 5pm with a live reindeer display in the grounds of Woodleigh, near Scar Top, while Santa’s sleigh will be in-situ amid a winter wonderland of white trees.

At about 6pm, a short Pantomime will entertain the crowds in front of the Methodist Church Hall, before the switching-on of the tree lights at 6.30pm.

The town’s Christmas tree has, once again, been donated by Lord Barnard and Raby Estates. Santa will be resident in his grotto in the Methodist Church, with face-painting, balloon modelling and craft activities, led by Teesdale YMCA. Seasonal refreshments are available in the Church Hall for a small charge.
