Countdown to Christmas in Dover 2019 got off to a fabulous start on Saturday 30th November with celebrations in the Market Square all afternoon leading up to the big Christmas Lights Switch On at 5pm.
Young People from Dover schools and colleges entertained the crowds with help from the Roadshow and – new and unique to Dover this year – some Bollywood Dancers! Dover Silver Screen Cinema continuou o tema Bollywood com 2 exibições do Livro da Selva.
Thanks to sponsorship from Dover Town Team there was a chance to fly through the air as The Snowman in a special Christmas simulator ride. Just as popular was the other free festive entertainment including Christmas Crazy Golf, Escape quarto Xmas, eo Mini-Carousel e cadeira-o-aviões especialmente para os mais pequenos!
Pai Natal visitou com sua cortesia trenó de Dover Rotary, and Big Local and Dover smART gave a chance for everyone to warm up at their indoor craft workshops.
The prize for the biggest Christmas visitor went to the 30-foot-long re-cycled plastic whale brought by Transition Dover.
The Market Square was packed all afternoon and the party ended with the traditional countdown to the Christmas Switch-On – with 6000 lights on the bigger than ever Dover Town Tree and bright white snowflakes all along the High Street.
