Withernsea Town Council has secured a £5000 East Riding of Yorkshire Council – ‘Do It for East Yorkshire’ grant to fund a new event in Valley Gardens, Withernsea.

The ‘Christmas in the Valley‘ event will be held on Saturday 3rd December 2022 from 4pm-8pm and will be a free event for all of the family to enjoy.

The event will be the first ‘Christmas In the Valley’ event and will hopefully lead the way for more ‘in the Valley’ seasonal events throughout the year.  There will be a brass band, stalls, Santa’s grotto, The Snow Queen & White wolf, Festive characters, Mulled wine, games & treats, Carols, rides & festive food, the Town Christmas Tree & the first phase of the new town lighting display – match funded by Yorkshire Coast BID, and all hosted on the night by Seaside FM.

Withernsea Town Clerk, Jayne Moxon said ‘We are working with other partners in the town to develop the events offered in the town. We are very grateful to have this project sponsored by the DIFEY fund, and especially thankful to the local growth team from the Regeneration & Funding team at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, and SHORES who have helped us develop this new project. The funding will help us get what we need to create something new for families to enjoy, without the expense of having to travel further afield to take part in Christmas festivities. We are hoping people will come into the town to come to the event and enjoy the rest of what the town has to offer.
