There are now less than four weeks to go until Christmas and it's that time of year again when Monk Hesleden Parish Council lights up our Christmas trees at Blackhall and Hesleden.
The Blackhall tree lighting ceremony will take place next Monday 4 December at 4pm:
and the Hesleden event will take place the evening after on Tuesday 5 December at 4pm:
Although 4pm might not be the most suitable time for all our residents the Christmas tree lighting events in the parish have traditionally been held in the early evening for the convenience of the staff and children of our local schools - and they of course are an essential part of both events.
Everyone will be made welcome so if you can please come along and join in.
