Our Christmas Switch On event held last night was a resounding success, creating lasting memories for all who attended. The evening was filled with laughter, joy, and a festive spirit that brought our community together.

Guests indulged in a variety of seasonal treats, including mulled wine, cider, hot chocolates, and mince pies—all enjoyed against the backdrop of our mesmerising sensory light tunnel and a festival of lights garden. The Live Nativity, featuring Ronnie & Reggie the sheep and other animals, added a charming touch to the festivities.

The Calne Town Brass Band serenaded us with a delightful medley of Christmas tunes, enhancing the festive ambience. Of course, the highlight of the night was Santa Claus himself, making a special appearance and distributing gifts to the little ones. The evening continued with delicious hot food and a heartwarming sing-along.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who joined us, making the event a true success. Special appreciation goes to our dedicated events team—Chris, Ryan, Caroline, and Vicky—for their meticulous organisation. We also extend our gratitude to volunteers Kevin, Tracy, Bart, Linda, and Kevin number two for their invaluable support.

From all of us at Blenheim House, we extend warm wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May the spirit of the season continue to bring joy and togetherness to our wonderful community.
