Christmas in Beeston
The Christmas Lights Switch On
By Alice Cave
In 2010, the Christmas lights were switched on in Beeston on a very cold day at the end of November. There was an ice-rink at Broadgate Park (a little superfluous in view of the weather, though the children were enjoying it), singers and musicians at Broadgate Park and in the Square, and later that evening, fireworks and a jazz band.
Despite the frost, many people enjoyed the fair along the pedestrianised High Road and on the Foster Avenue carpark.
The switch on of the Christmas lights in 2011 was a much warmer occasion.
