Get set for Christmas across Lisburn & Castlereagh

November 17, 2015

With Christmas just around the corner, local community groups are getting ready to switch on their Christmas Tree Lights across Lisburn & Castlereagh.

Under the Council’s Community Christmas Tree Grants Scheme, nineteen local groups have been working with the Council to organise Community Switch On events, which will begin on the 25th November and run through to the 11th December.

Recognising the efforts of all involved, Chairman of the Council’s Leisure Services Committee, Alderman Paul Porter said:

“Our community groups have been working extremely hard to enable residents, both young and old, to enjoy the magic of Christmas Tree Lights in their local area and bring a real sense of community spirit to the festive season.  The Council is delighted to provide funding for these events and support groups in their efforts to bring Christmas celebrations to the heart of local communities.  I would like to thank those involved for organising these events and look forward to celebrating Christmas right across the Council area.”
