Ellesmere Port Christmas Lights Switch on 28 November
The Mayor of Ellesmere Port, Councillor Katie Kendrick OBE will be switching on the Christmas lights in Ellesmere Port on Friday 28 November from the Civic Square.
Local school children will parade through the town centre with their Christmas lanterns led by Chester’s Karamba Samba band. The parade will include the giant Queen of Light puppet, the Stag, Unicorn, Jack Frost and Angel created by artist Russell Kirk.
The local schools taking part in the Lantern parade are Brookside Primary, Cambridge Road, Sutton Green Primary, Christchurch and Wolverham Primary.
Activities are from 4pm until 6pm with free children's rides, live entertainment from local primary school choir and local singers, food and drink plus of course Father Christmas.
The Mayor of Ellesmere Port, Councillor Katie Kendrick:
I’m looking forward to sharing our lights switch-on with Ellesmere Port residents. Most of this event is free, and it’s a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate the festive season. I’d like to thank Essar and Entep, who have kindly sponsored the free refreshment stall, which will be staffed by Westminster Families. Thanks also to the generous support from Ellesmere Port Councillors and our Charter Trustees. A special mention goes to St Mary’s of The Angels RC Primary School, who have created the beautiful star for our Christmas tree this year. Happy Christmas, Ellesmere Port.
