CHRISTMAS ILLUMINATIONS...

Each year the Town Council contract an outside organisation to erect Christmas Illuminations throughout the area.


A switch-on ceremony is held on the 1st Friday in December in the Town Centre, with the Mayor carrying out the official lighting up ceremony.  Father Christmas is usually in attendance to hand out sweets to the Children and Christmas Carols are played by Deepcar Brass Band.

The Town Council illuminate Bolsterstone and provide a tree in Deepcar as well as illuminating the Town Centre.

The event has been held for over 10 years and is well attended by the local residents. 

The lights are a welcome attraction to the area and receive many positive comments from the community and visitors to the Town.

Christmas Illuminations Switch On 2011

This year's Switch On event took place on Friday, 2nd December 2011 on the shopping precinct, Manchester Road, Stocksbridge.  Deepcar Brass Band played Christmas carols/music from 6.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m.  The event was very well attended, despite poor weather.  It was noticeable the increase in the number of toddlers and babies with their parents.  It was estimated that there were around 300 people there on the night with Father Christmas running out of sweets.

A huge thank you to Father Christmas for sparing the time in his busy schedule.

The Town Council wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.
