Prepare to step into a festive wonderland with the inaugural 'Joy to the Wells' event, an enchanting evening that promises to kick off the Christmas season with a dazzling display of community spirit and yuletide cheer. Mark your calendars for Thursday, 14th November 2024, and join us in front of the Opera House on Grosvenor Road at 4:30 PM to start the festivities!

The event will commence with an energetic performance by the Rock Choir, setting the stage for an evening filled with joyous activities and merry-making. At 5:00 PM, the town's newest addition—a unique, animated video projection—will illuminate the facade of the mapped Opera House, bringing to life the festive elements of the town.

As the projection fades, a Santa Sleigh led parade will create a snowy spectacle, starting a town-wide Christmas sing-along. Accompanied by this year’s beloved pantomime characters from local productions of Aladdin and Sleeping Beauty, the parade will feature elves distributing free chocolate coins and raffle tickets—make sure to sing loudly for a chance to snag some!

The parade will culminate on the High Street, where 'Bauble Bingo' will offer attendees the chance to win one of 25 fantastic prizes, including the top prize of a brand-new iPad! These prizes are generously provided by local businesses, ensuring that your winnings will keep the community spirit alive.

Amid the festive fun, don’t miss the Big Reveal as local traders reveal their festive windows - our Maddisons window this year is not to be missed!

The evening will conclude with a breathtaking "silent" fireworks display from the roof of Christ Church at 7:00 PM. These quiet fireworks are chosen specifically to be sensitive to local residents and pets, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the show without distress.

This magical evening is not just about starting the festive season; it's about community, joy, and the beginning of a new local tradition. With support from Royal Tunbridge Wells Together Business Improvement District, Maxipay, CooperBurnett, and Demelza Children's Charity, 'Joy to the Wells' is set to be a memorable start to your Christmas celebrations.

Whether you’re a local resident or visiting from afar, 'Joy to the Wells' offers a perfect opportunity to engage in the festive spirit and experience the warmth and charm of Tunbridge Wells. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary Christmas Kick Off!
