Thurso Festive Lights

18/02/2026

Huge thank you to the Highland Council who were able to help with our Christmas lights and removed many of them last week. The remaining lights are due to be taken down this week sometime.

✨Christmas lamppost lights ✨

We are aware the Christmas street lights are still lit and attached to lampposts in the town. Due to work commitments our usual volunteer has been unable to take these down. We have reached out to the council who unfortunately don’t have a hoist available to help.

Are there any MEWP operators available to help us take down Christmas?
