People were treated to a medley of Christmas carols performed by children from Our Lady & St Hubert's RC School, St Wulstan's RC Primary School, Great Harwood St Bartholomew's Parish C of E Voluntary Aided Primary School and Great Harwood St John's C of E Primary School. Hot vimto, mince pies and sizzling sausages were amongst the festive fayre on offer, plus a welcome visit from Santa.
BBC Radio Lancashire’s Stephen Lowe compered the proceedings, which included the rededication of the Great Harwood Memorial clock, Mercer Clock along with an unveiling of artwork produced by local artist Eddie Foster, before the Mayor of Hyndburn and Leslie Mercer flicked the switch to light the Christmas tree.
Cllr Gareth Molineux said; “The switch on was another fantastic Great Harwood community event, where hundreds of people came together to get in the festive spirit, see the lights switched on and the rededication of the Great Harwood Memorial clock, Mercer Clock. I want to say a huge thank you to the many people who were involved in making this event a huge success and to all the people who came along on the night and made it the fabulous evening it was.”
