'Christmas in Consett' - switching on the Christmas Lights
It was a great night in Middle Street on Thursday when the Derwent Valley Partnership - AAP put on an evening to get everyone prepared for Christmas. The Consett Salvation Army Band played traditional Christmas music whilst the girls of Khalysis put on some rather more modern entertainment. The evening was compared by Alex Winters from CBeebies who also presided over some reather daft activities and the strangest version of the Twelve Days of Christmas you've ever heard. Even Elsa and Anna from Frozen were there and were extremely popular with the kids. Many families endured the cold to have a really good night and it was great to see something else positive happening in the town. Many thanks must go to the Derwent Valley Partnership and the others who organised the event.
