Christmas in Biddulph

Biddulph Christmas Lights Switch On

This year’s Biddulph Christmas Lights Switch On was held on Saturday 30 November.

Staged Dance and Drama group and Tribe Dance Academy provided entertainment on the Town Hall steps before the Mayor, Councillor Nigel Yates, switched on the Christmas Lights, supported by the Town Crier, John Robinson.

A lantern parade followed, supported by the community art group Outside, together with Eva, the polar bear, from Red Thing Creations – a company that designs, builds and operates giant mechanical puppets.

There were also fair ground rides, a festive street market, with stalls selling crafts and gifts, decorations, cakes, wreaths and food and the town’s independent shops stayed open longer.

Thank you to everyone who made the event a success.

Biddulph Town Council Toy Appeal

As part of our Biddulph Works Together project, we ran our Toy Appeal again this year – from the 4th November to the 6th December.

We worked with partners to ensure that children most in need of gifts don’t wake up without a present on Christmas Day.

Thank you for your support.
