West Kirby

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Christmas lights being installed in 2018

Work has started putting up Christmas lights on lampposts around the centre of West Kirby, after enough money was raised to fund this year’s festive display.

West Kirby Christmas Lights have thanked dozens of businesses and individuals for donating the £6,000 needed to put up bulbs. The money also pays for installing, storing, insuring and taking down the lights.

But they are still looking for contributions to enable them to repair broken lamps and extend the display further around the town.

Festive displays on lampposts in West Kirby

Rachel Kehoe from the organising committee told West Kirby Today: “I’m delighted to tell you that we’ve just raised enough money to put the lights on which is great news.

“Thank you so much to everyone who’s got involved, all the residents who’ve done collections, the businesses – everyone who’s donated.

“But there’s still more to do as we’d love to repair the lights we’ve got that are broken, and we’ve got grand ambitions to add to the lights, take them a little bit further down Banks Road maybe towards Sandy Lane, or take them further along Grange Road and maybe light up some of the trees – so please keep the donations coming in.”

Work underway to light up the trees outside West Kirby Concourse
