Santa

Again working in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Thirsk, we are proud to bring Santa to Switch On the Christmas Lights, assisted by 2 local school children and Thirsk’s very own Miss North Yorkshire 2018 entrant. Santa will be in the Christmas Fayre on the Saturday and the Sunday to speak to boys and girls who would like to see him.
Thirsk Royal British Legion

Always a popular attraction, we are delighted to welcome them again this year to the switch on event.

Thirsk Xmas lights look great...Thanks to the Ladies of Thirsk & District Business Association and Thirsk Christmas Fayre for organising and fundraising for the lights.
