Welwyn Christmas Lights Switch-On 2024 🎄

Welwyn Parish Council is delighted by the wonderful turnout at this year’s Christmas lights event and would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed.

We are especially grateful to Audrey Barnes-Earnshaw, our competition winner, who joined Parish Council Chairman, Cllr Alex Bardett, to switch on the village Christmas lights for 2024. Audrey’s winning design has been printed and will serve as the official Christmas greeting from the Parish Council.

Our thanks also go to Netherdown for their generous sponsorship of the Christmas tree, Tesco for supplying the delicious mince pies, and all the volunteers who helped decorate and set up the lights across the parish. A special thank you to the Welwyn & Hatfield Community First Responders for their support during the event.

The involvement and support of everyone made this celebration truly special for the entire community.
