For the 9th Yr the Christmas tree Light Switch On took place today ... AHEvents always do a great show and despite the weather getting worse did another great event🙂🎅

Events like this need people to get involved to organise.

The Chester Le Street Business Association Chair and Treasurer and volunteers did a great job in making sure todays event took place. It was possible with the DCC officers who supported the BA., plus with extra funds put towards the event by local cllrs.
Today's event got very wet ...we've had cold ones in the past n wet but today's rain definitely was the wettest over the years. So we'll done to everyone for joining in and taking part and staying out.

Hopefully like us you've thawed out and enjoyed the event.
