We were delighted to welcome families to the Little Lights Stay and Play Christmas Party on Thursday 18th December. Many thanks to those who braved the atrocious weather to join in the fun. The children made Christmas cards and enjoyed the Christmas themed games and snacks. The festive decorations and Christmas music ensured a fun time was had by all! Many thanks to the volunteers who helped to make the party so enjoyable. We send our best wishes to all those who have supported the group throughout 2025 and we hope that Little Lights will continue to thrive in 2026.Little Lights returns on Thursday 8 January 2026

It was a delight to welcome children, and their families, to the Light Party held at Westbury Leigh Community Hall on Friday 31st October. This event is offered as a contrast to Halloween and a fun time was had by all! The children enjoyed crafts, games, singing and party snacks, and went home with a ‘goody bag’. Very many thanks to the families and volunteers who made this such an enjoyable event!
