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.

Best Decorated House Competition 2007

The Mayor, Cllr. Jack Clarkson toured the area the week before Christmas and was pleased to present Christmas Hampers to the owners of the following two homes as winners of the Town Council's Best Decorated House competition:- 

19 Smithymoor Avenue, Stocksbridge

19 Royd Lane, Deepcar

 

               

The 2007 Switch On was well attended considering it was very cold and windy, particularly by the younger children some of whom passed on cards to Santa.  The Town Council wish to extend a special thank you to Stocksbridge Band for standing in at short notice to provide the festive music and also to Paul Kaye for ensuring that Father Christmas arrived on time.  Also thank you to the following businesses for their donations:-
