Holly Grove Christmas Markets Raises Over £1900 in Festive Fun

The building was filled with a joyous holiday atmosphere, as festive stalls, delicious food and drink, and an array of entertainment made it a day to remember for all who attended.

From Santa’s Grotto, where children could meet the jolly man himself, to the festive music playing in the background, every corner of the venue was alive with the spirit of Christmas. In addition to the traditional market offerings, attendees were treated to tombolas, games, and an exciting visit from Lancashire Police aswell as special guest, Olaf from Frozen.

One of the most memorable moments of the day came when Olaf found himself in a bit of trouble with the law. The crowd erupted with laughter as the lovable snowman was “arrested” and escorted to the back of a police car by officers from Lancashire Police. The children were in stitches at the sight, with many gathering around for photos with Olaf and the officers.

The mayor of Burnley, Shah Hussain, also popped in to support our cause and joined in the festive fun.

The event was made possible thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers who gave up their time to help set up and run the market stalls, as well as those who helped with the games and activities. A huge thank you goes to everyone who volunteered and made this event such a festive success.

“We’re absolutely thrilled with how everything went,” said Katie Wood, one of the event organisers. “The support from the community has been overwhelming, and we couldn’t have done it without the volunteers. We’re so pleased to have raised over £1900, and we’re looking forward to next year’s market already!”
