HRA Xmas tree lighting

HRA logo

We might have rain rather than snow, but nonetheless come banish those winter blues with your neighbours and the HRA. We’ll be lighting the Xmas Tree on Sunday the 2nd of December at 6:30 pm. This year the event has outgrown the bus shelter and now we’ll be doing decorating and lighting in the Jubilee Gardens. As well as being a much safer venue for children there’s also toilets. You’ll be able to keep warm with some mulled wine and of course some mince pies. You will also be entertained with Christmas Carols.

… and do remember to bring some spare change as we’ll be having a collection for the Childrens Hospice in Milton

Help beautify Horningsea!

We have two initiatives planned for 10:00, Sunday 18 November. Both begin at the bus shelter beside the Village Green. Please come and join in. Wear stout shoes or boots.

  • Litter pick: Gloves, day-glow waistcoats and litter-picking pincers will be provided.
  • Sapling planting: Please bring your own spade. By kind gift of Fen Ditton Parish Council, we expect to have about 30 saplings of native tree and shrub species to be planted at a few points around the village, to help ensure it remains a beautiful place to live for decades into the future. Stakes, sleeves and ties will be provided.
