Christmas Magic: After 10 years of darkness, Christmas lights return to Hove

The Hove Business Association – with funding from Brighton and Hove City Council – has installed Christmas lights on George Street, Hove, for the first time in a decade. The event marks a new era for the association, under the guidance of recently-elected Chair, Victoria Mason.

Speaking on behalf of the association, Victoria said, “I’m delighted that we have been able to use ongoing funding from the council to bring a touch of Christmas magic to Hove once again. “The Hove Business Association is a strong community and a united voice for Hove and Portslade businesses, and the lights are just one very visible way HBA helps businesses thrive in the city.”

Carol singers, mulled wine and mince pies will help set the mood

Carol singers, from local community group “Singing for pleasure”, complimentary mulled wine and mince pies, provided by Church Road’s Raise Bakery, will help set the mood and fundraisers from Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice will be on hand to collect donations to help fund their children’s services across Sussex.

The event on George Street, Hove takes place outside long-term HBA members Revival Café from 5pm until 6pm on Thursday 8th December and everyone is welcome.
