Christmas in East Keswick

Have you seen the village Christmas Tree outside the beauty salon on Main Street? The Parish Council have organised this for the second successive year and the switch on was attended by scores of villagers and children despite a rainy evening. The Parish Council would like to thank David at the Old Star for providing hot chocolate, Hayley from the Duke for providing mulled wine, Linley Properties for use of their land, and East Keswick Plant Centre for the generous donation of the tree. We’d also like to thank Village Voices for keeping us in song!

Church services this Christmas:

Christmas Eve 1130pm Midnight Mass at St Mary Magdalene

Bin collections at New year will run one day later than scheduled. In other words on Sundays 31st December and 7th January

A fun evening by Churches Together based on Dickens Christmas Carol with singing and refreshments is free to all on Mon 18 Dec at 7pm at the Village Hall

A Christmas Family weekend takes place at the Village Hall on 16/17 Dec with children events on the Saturday and a family fun afternoon on the Sunday

On Christmas Eve and New Years Eve the last buses from the village are 1805 to Wetherby and 1823 to Leeds. No services operate Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Years Day though a limited daytime service will run on Boxing Day on the X98 route (Bardsey Bank Top). Between Christmas and New Year there will be a Saturday service on all routes which means no service 923.
