Villagers certainly seemed to have pulled out all the stops this year to get into the festive spirit – with properties throughout Ruddington adorned with colourful lights and decorations ready to guide in Santa and his reindeer on the big day.
Their efforts are being applauded by The Friends of James Peacock Junior School who’ve created a brand new ‘Christmas Light Trail’ running between now and 4th January 2023.
One of the organisers, Nathalie Mortimer, says: “Further to the success of our Christmas lights trail two years’ ago, it’s back with a sparkle! Local residents and businesses have kindly offered up their windows and gardens to form a trail for children and their families to take part in.”
Trail sheets went into the book bags of all James Peacock pupils this week but can also be collected from The Bottle Top or Parker’s Yard (at the Framework Knitters’ Museum). Children then need to visit at least five of the addresses listed on the trail sheet – answering the question for each one. Completed forms can then be returned to either café in exchange for a festive treat bag – at a cost of £1.
Nathalie adds: “All monies raised go towards the purchase of new IT equipment for the children at James Peacock School. So please do take part and join in the festive cheer! Thanks for your support.”
