A £2,000 appeal has been launched to raise money towards this year’s annual Farsley Christmas light switch on.
The community crowdfunder has been launched by Farsley Business Forum ahead of the event on Wednesday, 26 November.
A spokesperson said: “There is very little funding for this free event so we are asking local businesses and individuals who attend to donate, so that it may take place. Donations will go towards costs such as road closures, safety, security and entertainment.”
Donations can be made here and donation boxes are also available of Jaspers, Homeconomy, Jem Hair, the chemist and Gem T.
There is funding given by the council already, why don’t the businesses donate instead of the public, there going to make money on the night. and these pictures are from 2022, where are the ones from 23 and 24 ?
Hi Lorraine,
The council part-funds the Christmas lights in Farsley, the rest (such as the switch-on) is crowdfunded by local people/businesses. There’s not enough funding from either source for both.
As editor I chose a stock photo of Farsley Christmas lights to help illustrate the article. Not sure what difference it makes what year it’s from?
Kind regards
John, editor
