Gainsborough’s Christmas Lights Festival takes place on 15th and 16th November.
It’s being organised by West Lindsey District Council with support from Gainsborough Town Council and sponsorship from businesses Gainsborough Building Services, Elm Cottage, Elite Signs and The Egg Stop, Heapham.
The two-day event includes live music in Market Place over both days, and local schools, choirs and community groups taking centre stage. Music will also be provided by a DJ on Friday evening, and on Saturday with live bands, Bikraley and Back Chat Brass, bringing this dazzling event to a close.
There will also be a vintage funfair, and the Giant Snow Globe, which proved so popular last year. Rides are 50p each (sold as £2 tokens). Tokens can be purchased on the day at the booth in the Market Place. 50% of funfair proceeds will go to The Brain Tumour Charity, this year’s chosen charity by West Lindsey District Council Chairman, Cllr Stephen Bunney.
Street entertainers will be mingling among the crowds over both days, and there will be festive market stalls offering a variety of food, drink and gifts; and Santa’s Post Box will be there to ensure everyone gets the chance to get their letters to North Pole in plenty of time.
Cllr Lesley Rollings, Deputy Leader of the Council and Chairman of Prosperous Communities at West Lindsey District Council, said: “Everything is in place now to ensure the event is another spectacular success and I like many other people am looking forward to the start of the festival in just two weeks’ time. I look forward to seeing you all down there.”
Parking in Council-owned car parks is FREE from 6pm on Friday 15 November and all day Saturday 16 November
