Local residents are being invited to Beacon Hall in Peasedown St John for the village’s fourth Christmas in the Park this December.
Organised by members of the award-winning Party in the Park festival team Christmas in the Park will feature live music and carols from the 20-piece Bath Spa Brass Band, hot food and drink, a visit from Father Christmas, and a special performance of the Nativity story – organised and led by Peasedown St John Methodist Church.
Peasedown community activist and parish councillor Jo Davis is one of the organisers. She said: “Our event last year attracted almost 300 people. It was a great evening for the whole family which we hope to recreate again this year.
“We’re creating a magical feel to this event with Santa’s Grotto, Christmas music, mulled wine and mince pies.”
The festivities are being sponsored by Bath and North East Somerset Council, Bath Audi and Lilley’s Cider Barn.
Julian Drew, Head of Business at Bath Audi is delighted to be supporting the event. The car dealership is specifically sponsoring Santa’s Grotto.
Julian said: “Bath Audi is always pleased to support family events like this. As a part of the Peasedown St John community we are keen to take part.
“I wish all those attending Christmas in the Park an enjoyable evening.”
Christmas in the Park is a family event, for people of all ages, on Thursday 19th December, from 7 pm – 9 pm at Beacon Hall, Peasedown St John.
The Chairman of Peasedown St John Parish Council, Cllr Andrew Fraser will be taking part in the Christmas fun.
He said: “The organisers of this event work hard every year to put on an evening that won’t be forgotten.
“As the biggest event on the village’s Christmas calendar, it’s a fantastic opportunity to take time out from the hectic schedule of buying presents and decorating the house, and spend time with friends and family.”
Event-goers are asked to wrap up warm and bring a torch. The event will take place inside if wet. Children are invited to come along dressed as a shepherd or angel.
The PA for the event will be provided by St John’s Church.
