Welling Sparkle Christmas 2024

On 17th November, we will be having a Welling celebration of Christmas. Fabulous Christmas Market with gift Stalls, Kids Fun, Seasonal Food, Mulled wine, hot chocolate, live entertainment, Santa and more at the Westwood Lane car park! 

Last year, we made the Welling Sparkle bigger than ever by bringing the Christmas market to the new location of the Westwood Lane car park  This year we are taking the Sparkle there again.

We would like to get a good number of Christmas lights in Welling Town Centre, spreading out from Welling Corner on Bellegrove Road, Upper Wickham Lane and Welling High Street.

Discover Welling loves to support the local community, so we are also going to ‘pay it forward’ again this year by donating £5 for a present towards the Salvation Army Christmas present appeal for every lamp post that we light up. 

Each year, Bexley Council give each town centre a grant to use towards promoting the town centre and this year the Welling Town Business Associates group have granted us £1,500 for our Christmas community activities, which includes the Sparkle Christmas market and Christmas lights.  

If you would like to donate to our Crowdfunder campaign, please click on the donate button, which will take you to our donation page.

Sponsorship and Supporters

Thank you to the following businesses and groups who sponsored a lamp post last year.  Once funds start coming in from the Crowdfunder, we will start to share images of this year’s sponsors.

As with previous years, we will also be creating a thank you sticker with all the logos of all the businesses and groups that donate at least £50.  We will regularly update the image below as more sponsors come forward.

Festive Welling

As we get nearer to Christmas and we start to see shops being decorated, we will share a  selection of photos of some of the shops here.
