Sing some carols and join in with the lighting of the tree as Raynes Park gets festive this Friday.

The nativity, complete with live animals, will be back by popular demand, and this year the festival will be bigger than ever with two main stages at Raynes Park station and outside Waitrose, filled with entertainment for the whole family.

There will be a Santa’s grotto, and a variety of local performance groups and choirs.

The nativity characters are from the Lantern Theatre Company, while the Rosie Chesson Dance Group will feature during the lighting of the tree.

Businesses all along Coombe Lane and throughout central Raynes Park are taking part, so join in for an afternoon of Christmas cheer with the whole community.
