Storm Bert didn’t dampen Aylesbury’s Christmas spirit at Christmas on the Cobbles 2024

The event programme was revised for everyone’s safety, however there was still walkabout entertainment, games, crafts, activities and performances inside Friars Square shopping centre. A free funfair in Kingsbury and workshops in local businesses were also held to spread the Christmas spirit.

There were digital fireworks in the form of a projection onto the old Crown Court building, and thanks to the community spirit of Aylesbury’s residents, many people stayed until the very end and the crowd came together around the clock tower to count down to the town’s lights switch-on. Pictures and videos of the event can be seen across the Town Council’s social media channels.

The Town Council extends its thanks to all volunteers, event sponsors and supporters:

· Friars Square shopping centre

· Bucks Radio

· BORG

· Chiltern View Ice Rink

· Hand Talking

· K Y Green Funeral Directors

· Michael Anthony

The Town Council looks forward to welcoming visitors to their next community event, Carolfest at St Mary’s Church on Sunday 8 December.
