Around 400 residents gathered in Prescot on Saturday to see the Town Centre’s Christmas Lights get turned on. The event provided a host of local groups and performers with the opportunity to showcase their vocal cords, dancing feet or raise money for their causes. The groups were represented by all of our active parks groups including Friends of KGV Brown’s Field and Carr Lane Woods, Friends of Eaton Street Park, Friends of Prescot Churchyard and Cemetery and NHS SOS. The audience were kept entertained by performances from singer Keiron Kenny, Jan Williams Theatre School and Prescot Primary School Choir all of whom were brilliant. The performances stopped to allow the now traditional selection pack give away a Town Council initiative that adds a little something extra to the day with 365 selection packs given children at the event. This was also complimented by Prescot Cables who were on hand to issue free family tickets to all those in attendance.
