🎄✨ GILDERSOME LIGHT UP NIGHT 2026 – WE NEED YOU! ✨🎄

Our Gildersome Light Up Night is coming up on Saturday 14 November, and we need your help to make it a fantastic evening for our village! ❤️

Putting on an event like this takes plenty of helping hands, and even a little of your time can make a real difference. Whether you can spare half an hour, a couple of hours or longer, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for volunteers to help with:
🎪 Setting up before the event
☕ Serving hot drinks
🙌 Helping out during the evening
🧹 Tidying up at the end of the night

You don’t need to commit to the whole day. Any time you can offer between 10am and 9pm would be greatly appreciated.

📧 Interested in helping, or want to find out more? Please contact us at [email protected] and let us know your availability.

Let’s pull together as a village, get plenty of hands on deck and make this year’s Light Up Night a brilliant evening for everyone. The more people who help, the easier it is for everyone! 🎄✨

Thank you for supporting your local community! ❤️
