It may have been a damp Saturday 15th November but the spirits of the Lighting Up Wymondham volunteers were anything but, as they went about hanging the town centre Christmas lights, which will be officially switched on at the upcoming ’A Very Wymondham Christmas’ event.

With a great turnout of helpers, long-time lights stalwart Doug Hodges praised all involved:

“Many thanks everyone! Am delighted - we achieved more than I expected and am impressed with the standard! Hope you've finished drying out.”

Mr Hodges has resumed the role after former Mayor Kevin Hurn passed away in November, who had taken on responsibilities.

“Thanks for stepping back to organise us again Doug. Kevin would be pleased to know that we were carrying on for him. Thanks to Sharron and Joanne for the refreshments too.” said volunteer Chris Grant.

Here are just some of the photos taken this year.
