Carols Round the Tree: The annual carol singing by the Christmas tree at '˜Corbières' (near the village sign) is tonight at 7pm. Local musicians will be playing, so bring a torch and have a good sing. The newly formed Westfield Community Choir will be joining in the singing too. As usual, Jean Tomsett will be providing hot soup to warm you up afterwards '“ thank you!

Westfield Christmas Lights: These amazing lights continue to attract lots of visitors. There are no street lights here, so bring a torch and wear Hi-Viz or light-coloured clothing. Be considerate when parking, too – no parking on main road. Please be generous and help the village raise lots of donations for the Hospice – £76,754 to date! I am told that there will be a special attraction from 6pm next Saturday 22 December, when Pete Prescott of Beatles Day fame will be entertaining visitors with Christmas songs in the gazebo at ‘Squirrels’. Definitely something to look forward to.

Christmas Tree Festival: This started in the church on Wednesday, with the theme ‘Christmas Peace’. Do pop in and admire the beautiful and imaginative creations on display; donations will be added to the those raised from the lights.
