Christmas in Barton 2023

The lights go ‘on’ – Saturday 2nd December

The Barton Christmas Spirit Committee is raring to go and is delighted to invite you all to the annual village Christmas tree lighting and Barton Primary School carols on Saturday 2 December, next to the village pond, between 4.30-6.30pm. Join us for mulled wine, mince pies and wonderful community Christmas cheer.

Barton’s annual festive ‘dress up’

Following the enthusiasm for previous Christmas displays around the village, this year we are taking the idea of village scarecrows and raising it to village ‘snow pals’. This December we hope lots of residents will join in with bedecking the village with their creation of a snow pal in their front garden, window, tree, anywhere visible for all to see.

Every kind of snow pal creation is welcome  – snowmen, snow angels, snow dogs, snowcats….snow horses…snow spacemen (?!).There are no rules, we welcome you all to indulge your wildest artistic imagination and join in the fun.

(Any households who would like to feature on the Snowpals Map, please drop a line to ).
