It might seem a long way off, but Christmas is on its way & Maryport Christmas lights will be switched-on on Saturday 16 November this year. The Town Council will be making arrangements for a programme of family entertainment, with children at its heart of course, to be held during the afternoon of that day.
The outdoor stage will showcase the areas’ talented entertainers, ably hosted by the fabulous Cookie, & there will be fairground rides for the little ones on upper Senhouse Street.
Tea & Coffee will be freely available throughout the afternoon, & later on we hope to have mince pies & mulled wine on offer.
With the kind courtesy of the Labour Club management, Santa will be hosting his grotto there once again, and Beth will be providing some seasonal face-painting, free to all. A visit to Santa’s grotto will require a ticket & the Town Council’s social media sites will provide further details on how to get tickets nearer the time.
The big switch-on will be at 5pm!
