Christmas Lighting Event

2nd December saw this year’s Christmas Lighting Event. It was attended by many hundreds of local people and lots of children.

The event started with the lighting of the two trees in Morganstown and Lychgate Gardens and was accompanied by carol singing by the children from Bryn Deri and Radyr Primary Schools. Everyone then joined together in Windsor Gardens to light the tree and sing some more carols.

The lights in Station Road were then switched on by St John Bertie Badger and the Festival Queen and her attendant. Santa then appeared and was immediately swamped by young children. Mulled Wine was flowing freely and Burgers and Hot Dogs were eaten by many. This year there were 16 stalls and people had a chance to purchase some gifts and enter raffles.

Many thanks go to the hard working organisers for putting the event on for the community.
