Marlborough Lights Up
For Christmas
Marlborough, you did it again! People turned out in their thousands to count down and help the Mayor to switch on the Christmas lights. There was a fabulous market, Father Christmas, a mini farm, elves on skates, angels, wonderful singing and entertainment - we even made it onto the evening news!
We'll post a gallery of photos next week and a long list of thank-yous to everyone who made this event possible: our amazing staff, The Rotary Club, The Lions Club, St Peter’s Church, Roger Grant, Simon Stockley, All the schools and choirs that took part, TH White for their help with the tree, Awdry Law for sponsoring the trees at the Town Hall, Wheelers of Westbury, Daniel Claridge (First Aid support), Wiltshire Police and all the volunteer marshals including flood wardens and youth council.
