COLNE Town Council’s Events Committee is creating a Christmas Extravaganza this year on Saturday, 29th November.
The Colne Food Festival will start the festivities and last until 7.30pm and the fun doesn't stop there! There will be the Christmas light switch on plus many more events which are planned for the whole day and night.
This whole day is going to feel like a big Christmas market with lots of stalls, bands, singers, donkey rides, face painting, fireworks, clogg dancers and MUCH more!!
The programme of events so far:
All day until 7 p.m. Colne Food Festival, including a grand marquee behind The Wallace Hartley and street stalls all over town All day: carousels and kiddies’ rides on the Precinct All day: Donkey rides in Colne Town Centre 11.30 a.m. – 1 p.m. Darwen Brass Band will be entertaining shoppers 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. Face Painting in the Precinct Noon - 2 p.m. Barnoldswick’s Town Crier 2 p.m. onwards: Barbershop Choir will be entertaining shoppers 2 p.m. onwards: Teas and coffees in St Bartholomew’s Church 3.30 – 5.30 p.m. Pendle Jazzmen will be entertaining shoppers 4.30 p.m. onwards: Lancashire Wallopers will be entertaining shoppers
The evening’s festivities kick off at 5.30 p.m. when people who wish to be part of the torchlight procession will meet at The Crown in Colne. Everyone is welcome. The parade will co-incide with the switching on of Colne’s Christmas lights. Once the procession reaches St. Bartholomew’s at 5.45 p.m., participants will be welcomed inside for a short service and carols led by Pendle Children’s Choir and Pendle’s Youth Choir. The organisers are asking people to remember to leave their torches outside the church!
The Torchlight Procession will reconvene and continue on to the market for more carols. The Town Council is providing hot chocolate and mini mince pies for people who have taken part.
At 6.45 p.m., the countdown to the firework display in the Precinct begins with festive music favourites. What promises to be a magnificent firework display will begin at 7 p.m.
