It is a little early to be feeling festive, however plans for Christmas events are well under way. Saffron Walden Town Council (SWTC) is delighted with the support it has received from local businesses in the build up to its community Christmas events programme. Donations and support from McCarthy Stone will significantly fund the exciting schedule of events and activities for families and the community of Saffron Walden in the build up to Christmas 2024.
McCarthy Stone’s Senior Marketing Executive for London & South East, Ciara Foley said, “McCarthy Stone are proud to sponsor Saffron Walden’s Lantern making workshops and Christmas Light Switch On event. With our local presence in Jacob Place, a beautiful development of one and two bedroom apartments designed exclusively for the over 60s in Saffron Walden, we welcome the opportunity of working with Saffron Walden Town Council over the coming years, supporting the community work it does. Our sales office and show suites are now open so we’d love for you to visit and show you around this wonderful development! ”.
Several other local businesses have also pledged their support, as well as Saffron Walden BID. Starting with free fun lantern making workshops on Saturday 09 and 16 November, followed by an exciting schedule to include the Lantern Parade and Light Switch On, on Friday 22 November, Fayre in the Square takes on Sunday 24 November and a chance to meet Father Christmas in his Grotto on both Friday 07 and Sunday 08 December!
