Santa was the guest of honour at the festive occasion with musicians and singers entertaining the crowd at the business park. There were balloons and face-painting and lots of fun as the community gathered to celebrate the switching on of the Christmas lights. The thriving business park is at the heart of the community and organises this free event annually.
