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.
