Prizes galore (From Tewkesbury Admag)

Prizes galore

2:07pm Thursday 19th October 2006 in News

The organisers of the Tewkesbury Christmas Lights festival are looking for a charity to run a tombola stall for their own funds.

They have got a space in the town hall which they would like filled.

There are also a few spaces left in the High Street for any groups or organisations who would like to take part.

The Chamber of Commerce, which organises the event, has a lovely selection of prizes for the big tombola, which helps fund the festival. They include a £100 voucher from Marks and Spencer, a round of golf at Tewkesbury Park and vouchers from many other local traders.

However, they are still looking for businesses and individuals to donate more prizes.

The festival, including a visit from Father Christmas who will switch on the town's lights, takes place on November 26, from 2pm.

Father Christmas is expected to arrive at the town hall at about 4pm. There will also be a Punch and Judy and selection of small fun fair rides as well as stalls, games and refreshments.

The High Street will be closed to traffic for the event but will reopen by 6pm.

For details including booking a stall visit the Orange Pig in the High Street, where tombola prizes can also be left.
