Admission is free, however, tickets need to be obtained in advance from the Churches Together Shop at 75 Wrwaby Street, Brigg with donations being welcomed on the night towards the cost of staging the event.

Prior to the event closing on Sunday December 16th, a Town Carol Service will be held in the Church at 2.00pm with music provided by Barnetby Band. A collection will take place during the service and will be shared between St John’s Church and Barnetby Band. Following the service, refreshments will be served in the Church Hall – donations welcome.

Any businesses or organisations that are interested in sponsoring either a Christmas Tree and/or wreath are asked to contact Jane Kitching of The Brigg Town Partnership as soon as possible at [email protected] as there has already been significant interest in this inaugural Festival.
