The Arts Quarter Christmas Lights Switch On 2013!

The 4th annual Christmas Steps Arts Quarter Christmas Lights Switch on was again a huge success, as large crowds gathered to mark the official (because we are the home of Christmas, obviously) start of the Christmas period!

A huge thanks go to the children from St. Michael's on the Mount Primary School for another wonderful performance of carols this year. And also to the staff of the school for organising them so brilliantly and taking up countdown duties.

Also a thanks to SHOP, who again serviced, installed and will be providing the power for the lights, and who also provided the mince pies, home-baked goodies and mulled wine (though it didn't last long!) for the switch on.

Here's some pics...

The carol leaflet lovingly created by St. Michael's.

Gone in 60 seconds - The mince pies and mulled wine

The expectant crowd gathers...

And though we don't count ... it might have been record crowds!

The carols

Singing along!

And they're on! (At the second attempt)

And don't they look just lovely...
