Dover Byråd, Dover District Council og Destination Dover er glade for at annoncere Dovers Winter Light Up – en heldagsfejring af festlig sjov i Dover bymidte på lørdag 4th December.
Arrangementet vil kombinere et julemarked med levende underholdning, exciting Christmassy activities and an interactive evening of festive illumination, with a lantern procession parading through the town centre to accompany the seasonal splendour of Dover’s Christmas lights.
Dovers Heritage Quarter vil blive forvandlet til et vintereventyrland med jule-crazygolf, flugtrum, live-optrædener og Ceramic Art Dovers raku-brænding og interaktive workshops blandt nogle af de attraktioner, der vil glæde besøgende, som også vil kunne nyde shopping fra håndværksboderne og smage julemarkedets mad og drikke.
Foregår i Ladywell Car Park bag Maison Dieu i Dover, julemarkedet og underholdning starter fra middag. The lantern parade is due to start at 4pm and, together with Dover’s Christmas lights, will illuminate the town centre as dusk falls. Featuring exciting giant lantern characters, the parade will be delivered by Dover’s Fremtidens Støberi, who staged the hugely successful Walk With Amal event in Dover, “Light Leads The Way”, in October 2021. Children from Dover’s primary schools are invited to a free lantern-making workshop on Sunday 28th November at Biggin Hall, ahead of the procession the following week.
Visitors to Dover on Saturday 4th December will also be able to take advantage of free parking in Dover District Council’s car parks across the district for Small Business Saturday, as the Council continues to work to support local businesses.
Byrådsmedlem Gordon Cowan, Mayor of Dover, sagde: “It’s wonderful to put on this event in Dover and work in partnership, bringing the community together to enjoy this special time of year after such a challenging period.”
Cllr Trevor Bartlett, Leader, Dover District Council, sagde: “It’s fantastic to support this all-day celebration and to feel excited for a whole season of Christmassy events across White Cliffs Country this year. Following the pandemic, this is a great opportunity for our communities to enjoy festive activities and events that were sadly missed last Christmas, and to support our amazing local businesses at an important time in the business calendar.
"Vi er glade for at arbejde sammen med Dover Town Council og Destination Dover for at tilbyde denne vidunderlige gratis begivenhed for samfundet og, med gratis parkering, der også tilbydes på kommunale parkeringspladser den dag, everyone can look forward to an enjoyable and successful day.”
