COVID-19 STATEMENT REGARDING THE 2020 EVENT

The organisers behind our Charity Christmas Display wish to inform our followers that we WILL be running our annual display for 2020 with some additional measures in place regarding COVID-19.

Our display will run as follows:
November 21st – December 31st
4.30pm to 10pm: Monday to Thursday
4.30pm to 11pm: Friday to Sunday

We have decided to continue with the event as we are satisfied social distancing can be observed by those visiting based on previous audience numbers at any given time. We would kindly ask all visitors to follow the latest UK Government/NI Executive COVID-19 guidance and abide by social distancing rules in order to help us keep the event running.

There will be NO Santa’s Grotto this year due to complications surrounding social distancing. Our switch-on event is always by invitation only (due to parking constraints). It is unlikely that we will run our switch-on event in person, or if we do, it will be massively scaled back. We are exploring the option of live-streaming an interactive switch on.

Finally, we have been working hard with the staff at Marie Curie to enhance the use of our online donation system for those who do not feel comfortable visiting the display or those who prefer not to use cash (cash donations will still be an option via the on-site donation boxes, for which hand sanitiser will be available should it be required – all cash will be handled safely and cleaned where possible before lodgement at the bank). All online donations can be accepted on our secure JustGiving platform. JustGiving is a trusted source who will handle all of your data securely.

We trust that you will feel safe to visit our display this year and that you will have an enjoyable Christmas season
