The festive season began in style as East Bierley hosted its annual Christmas Lights Switch-On on Friday 29 November 2024. Organised by the East Bierley Village Preservation Society, the event brought together residents of all ages on the village green.
Live performances from the Drighlington Brass Band and Cleckheaton Community Choir created a warm, festive atmosphere, with children eagerly awaiting a very special guest. Santa Claus arrived to lead the countdown before switching on the village lights, drawing cheers from the crowd.
A selection of festive stalls selling food, treats and handmade crafts added to the evening, giving visitors plenty to enjoy. Proceeds from the event supported the East Bierley Christmas Lights Appeal, helping ensure the display can continue for years to come.
