Lights raise huge sum for hospice

Throughout the village of Westfield from Friday 1st December – Sunday 31st December, members of the public were treated to a festive light display which saw hundreds of families and friends of all ages enjoy the lights and really got them in the mood for Christmas.

The Westfield Christmas lights have become a well-anticipated attraction with hundreds of people making the short journey to the village to enjoy the spectacle.

St Michael’s Hospice Community Fundraiser Laura Sully said: “Everyone that takes part in the annual Westfield Lights display, in aid of St Michael’s Hospice are amazing.

“We are so grateful to them for displaying such a stunning sight for all to see.

Many families have now made going to see the village lights in December part of their Christmas tradition and long may it continue.

“The time it takes to put up and take down the lights is massive and so a huge thanks goes out to everyone involved.”
