Welcome to Neston News - your weekly round up of local news and events in the Neston area.

Wow, how Christmassy do you feel now...after the Lights have been switched on all over the area? Neston Lights 'n' Lanterns was a lovely event, you can see all the photos and a video here. I couldn't get to the Willaston or Parkgate switch-ons but if anyone took photos and would like us to publish them, please send them by email (details below).

Saturday's Love a Local Christmas Event in Neston was also a great success. Hundreds of residents and visitors enjoyed the festive feel in the town, with the Farmers' Market and Parish Church Christmas Fair adding to the fun, plus great entertainment and prizes to be won. Well done everyone involved.

Pop down to Ness Gardens this weekend for some more festive fun. This Saturday there's the Little Actors Christmas show and on Sunday it's the Elephant Santa Dash. You can sign up now at either of the Elephant branches. Lots more coming up, see our full What's On guide here.

We still have some lovely Christmas gift, food and drink ideas and useful info for you - here's our full Christmas in Neston section.

On a less fun note, if you have comments to make about the closure of NatWest in Neston, please add them to our article here. Protests are underway as it is clear that many residents and businesses are deeply unhappy about this announcement. The more comments we can gather, the better.

Have a great week,

Carrie & the AboutMyArea Team
