Its chair Austin “Chem” Cheminais, said: “Llangollen Christmas Festival is organised by volunteers from the community who freely give their time and expertise to organise and run the event. It is not a Town Council event, although they do support us.

 

“The festival is a not-for-profit community event aimed at local people. We aim to make the Christmas Festival a totally free event, with no charge for activities or entertainment.

 

“We are funded through fund raising events, donations, sponsorship, a raffle and grants when available. Annually the group has to raise about £4,000 to fund the event. The festival is usually held on the last Saturday in November.

 

“If you need any further information or are able to sponsor us is some way please get in touch. My mobile number is 07813761766 and my email address is chemshouts@gmail.com
