Lighting Up Alresford
It’s that time of year again!
The Alresford Chamber of Commerce and the Alresford Pigs Association are busy planning this year’s Christmas Tree project.
Preparations have now begun, with volunteers from the APA checking each and every bulb and sorting the colours to ensure a good mix on each tree, in readiness for the trees going up in late November. Once erected, the trees and bulbs will stay up for at least a month, in all weathers, before being carefully dried, checked and stored, ready for next year, once the trees have been taken down in early January.
Grants from New Alresford Town Council have also enabled the project to transition to LED light bulbs, greatly reducing energy consumption and costs.
The project wishes to thank New Alresford Town Council and all those who purchase a tree, including local businesses, organisations, and residents, for making the project possible and for helping us to make the town look so festive at Christmas.
Background information:
The project is sponsored by the Alresford Chamber of Commerce and delivered on our behalf by the Alresford Pigs Association.
The volunteer workforce, containing mostly volunteers from the APA, but also some volunteers from the Chamber, erect approximately 180 trees each year along the main thoroughfares of Alresford. All profits from the project go to support local charitable causes and local events for the benefit of the community.
We are also looking for volunteers to help with the stringing and erecting of the Trees on 25th November and for the taking down on 7th January. If you are free and can spare some time to help please email:– Alresfordchamber@gmail.com
