WHAT A SUPER SETTLE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SWITCH ON !!!!! π The community was out in full festive spirit at this year's Christmas Lights Switch on. The event on Saturday was a wonderful, family friendly event, that saw people travel from afar to join in the festivities.
Entertainment was provided throughout the event with performances from Bethel Chapel , Helen Howard School of Theatre Dance, Giggleswick School, Giggleswick Primary, Settle Primary & Giggleswick & Settle Brass Band.
The bouncy castle snow globe saw many children enjoying themselves. A massive thank you must be given to Yorkshire Dales Inflatables - Bouncy Castle & Soft Play Hire and Cllr David Taylor who manned the bouncy castle all day in the cold and donated all takings to go towards next years event.
The Christmas market was well attended and it was lovely that local charities and organisations also joined in with the celebrations π
The magnificent large Christmas tree, which was locally sourced from the Anley Estate and together with Tree Tops Forestry Ltd generosity ensures that Settle once again has a magnificent tree. It looks fabulous all lit up!!! πThank you to the lovely team Knight Stainforth Hall Caravan Park for their assistance getting the tree in place.
The event ended with the Christmas lights being switched on by some very excited children and an amazing fireworks display produced by Electrify Pyrotechnics, Lighting & PA Hire, which was sponsored by Tarmac.
We would like to thank all of the sponsors Arla, Tarmac, John Roberts Paper, Car and Kitchen , Walker Foster Solicitors, Marshall Taylor Properties, Rosa & Matteo's, and Conservefor who made this event possible.
Thank you also to the many local businesses for their generous raffle prize donations - we had some wonderful prizes.
The lovely event was something that Settle should be proud of. And we look forward to seeing you all in 2026. Best Wishes Katie, Emma, David & Bob on behalf of Settle Town Council (More thank you's and photo's to follow - do share your pictures too) π
