The Ladies Mile pub in Brighton is hosting a ‘Light Up the Mile’ event on December 1st to celebrate switching their Christmas lights on.
This event will start at 4 pm and end at 8 pm, and there will be fairground rides, a live nativity, and Father Christmas in his grotto.
There will also be face painting, arts and crafts, stalls, and live entertainers at this event, including Joe Dellow, Rebecca Fowler, and Sonny B.
Gayle Newman, the Ladies Mile pub manager, said: “I think it’s a really nice thing for everyone to come too, for the community.
“Life can throw people pretty low blows at times, and if we’ve got something small to look forward to, I think it’s nice.”
This event is free to attend, and it is suitable for both adults and children.
The Christmas lights will be switched on at 5:15 pm, and the pub hosts an annual competition to decide who will turn them on.
This year, the competition will involve children making an angel to place on top of the Christmas tree.
Gayle Newman, said: “As the lights go on, Father Christmas is on the balcony waving, and we have a fake snow machine; it is magical. It’s my most favourite day.”
The money raised from this event will be donated to the Multiple Neurones Disease charity.
This event has been taking place at the Ladies Mile pub for ten years.
