The evening’s celebrations begin with the joyful sound of The Kingswear Bell Ringers. Though they are a relatively new group, these talented local volunteers have already made their mark — recently winning second place in a national competition! Their ringing will set the perfect festive atmosphere, filling the village with warmth and cheer. If you fancy trying your hand at ringing the bells do come along to St Thomas Church where Simon will happily show you the ropes.
As the last notes fade, all eyes will turn to the star of the evening… Father Christmas himself! With a sprinkle of magic, he’ll lead the countdown and switch on the Kingswear Christmas Lights, illuminating the village in a dazzling glow.
It’s a wonderful moment for children and adults alike — the true start of the festive season in Kingswear. Gather round, join in the excitement, and let’s light up our village together!
