Village heralds the festive season with Christmas tree lights switch-on event

The streets of Navenby were thronging with people eager to enjoy the village’s Christmas tree lights switch-on and festive market.

The popular event was staged at various locations along the village High Street, with all the local shops opening and over 50 stalls selling their festive wares on Friday evening.

Pockets of market stalls were located near Robin Rose Bakes & Books, Down The Road cafe, The Lion & Royal yard, The Kings Head car park, at Mrs Smiths Cottage as well as inside and outside Navenby Methodist Church.

Shops trimmed up to make people feel extra festive and the tree lights were switched on by Father Christmas and a young competition winner at Navenby Methodist Church with Sleaford Concert Band playing along.

They were joined by a cavalcade of tractors bedecked in lights from Harmston Young Farmers Club which wowed the youngsters.

There were also free children’s activities in St Peter's Church and a short concert there featuring Navenby Junior Choir and Sleaford Concert Band.
