West Lindsey District Council is delighted to announce that this year’s spectacular Christmas Lights Festival raised £1,000 for The Brain Tumour Charity.
Chairman of the Council, Cllr Stephen Bunney chose the charity as his official cause during his term in office. He extended his heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated and helped make the event a success for both the community and the chosen charity.
He said:
“The event is always a great occasion for the whole community, and it’s even better when the festival can be used to help raise money for good causes. Like thousands of charities across the country, The Brain Tumour Charity is an exceptionally worthwhile organisation, and I am sure the money raised by the community of Gainsborough will be very well received.”
The two-day festival, held on 15 and 16 November, continues to grow in popularity each year, delivering a dazzling festive programme organised by West Lindsey District Council with support from Gainsborough Town Council.
The event was made possible thanks to sponsorship from local businesses: Gainsborough Building Services, Elm Cottage, Elite Signs, and The Egg Stop, Heapham.
Attendees enjoyed a packed programme of activities, including live music in Market Place from local schools, choirs, and community groups, as well as performances by live bands Bikraley and Back Chat Brass, who brought the festival to a spectacular close.
A DJ entertained crowds on Friday evening, while Saturday featured street entertainers, the Giant Snow Globe, and a festive market on Market Street and Church Street offering food, drinks, and Christmas gifts.
Cllr Bunney also thanked the organisers, sponsors, and residents who made the festival such a success, saying the event showcased the very best of Gainsborough’s community spirit.
