Christmas Lights Market – We kick off our seasonal celebrations at the Guiseley Light Switch On, 26th November, 2- 6pm. Come and say hello at our stall; we’ll have the popular roll-a-car, a children’s bran tub, copies of the Guiseley Jubilee Oak Story, and leaflets on the Alternative Lantern Parade 2023 and Christmas Bauble Trail. Please bring cash.
Christmas Tree Festival – For the start of Advent, we’ll be adding a tree to the St Oswald’s Christmas Tree Festival which will open on the First Sunday in Advent, 3rd December. There will be a host of innovatively decorated trees from a range of organizations across the Parish which makes a splendid sight as the days grow darker.
Park Christmas Lights and Bauble Trail – The start of Advent sees the Park Christmas Light Trail back by popular demand. Visit a variety of locations to find a letter at each that makes up a Christmassy word. Trail leaflet here. Each location will have been dressed for Christmas by a different team. This includes the memory corner, where stars and snowflakes blow in the breeze, each one a memory of a loved one or pet. If you’d like to dedicate a decoration contact Joanna Brooks on parkinsonspark@gmail.com
Advent Tree – At the same time, hang an Advent bauble on the celebration tree to build up the decorations over the period until we we reach Christmas Day. Red and gold are the best colours as they light up the Park as the dying sun sends its rays across the landscape.
Lantern Parade – Finally, the Lantern Parade on 17th December will be changing formats this year. More details here. We are again recruiting local people for drummers an activity much enjoyed by those who take part. If you’d like to volunteer contact Chris Parapia on parkinsonspark@gmail.com. No experience necessary, just enthusiasm.
