About
On Saturday, 28th November our entire community will come together to celebrate the holiday season at the Checkley Parish Christmas Festival of Lights.
Multiple venues across Upper Tean will be hosting festive activities, making it a true community-wide celebration.
Event Highlights Across the Village:
Great Wood Hall Festive Stalls: From 3 PM to 7 PM, Great Wood Hall will be filled with local stalls offering Christmas crafts, handmade goods, and festive treats. Perfect for some unique holiday shopping while supporting our local artisans.
Christ Church Hall
From 11 AM to 3 PM, stop by Christ Church Hall for even more festive stalls and holiday shopping. This event is a wonderful part of the day’s celebrations and a perfect way to start your Christmas spirit before heading to the festival at Great Wood Hall.
Santa’s Sleigh & Light Procession: At 4:45 PM, Santa will lead a magical light procession from the White Hart Inn car park (ST10 4DZ) to Great Wood Hall (ST10 4JY). Join the procession and feel the Christmas cheer as we make our way to the hall.
Lights Switch-On and Pyrotechnics Show: At 6 PM, the outside of Great Wood Hall will light up with our spectacular light show and pyrotechnics display. Experience the joy of the season as the skies are lit up in a dazzling display of colour.
This is a free community event for everyone, so bring your family, friends, and neighbours along for a wonderful day of Christmas celebration.
Parking Reminder: Please avoid parking on Hollington Road during the event to ensure the safety of the procession.
Consider using the village car park or designated parking areas, or walking if you can, to help keep the road clear and safe for everyone.
We can’t wait to see you at this fantastic community-wide event.
