Bare Village will sparkle with festive spirit this December, thanks to a beautiful 20-foot Christmas tree to be installed by Morecambe Town Council.

Once in place, the tree at the corner of Bare Lane and Mayfield Drive will be decorated and illuminated throughout the festive season, adding a touch of seasonal magic to the heart of the community.

Councillor Lee Bradbury, Chairperson of Morecambe Town Council’s Festivals, Sponsorships and Events Committee, said: “Morecambe BID do a great job providing lights in the town centre, so at the Town Council we’re looking to spread the festive cheer more widely around the town.

"We hope the tree will help increase footfall, prompt a little pre-Christmas trading lift for Bare businesses and help boost the community’s Christmas spirit throughout December.”

Residents are now invited to get involved.

For a £5 donation, supporters can have their name, the name of a friend or family member added to Santa’s Nice List, which will be displayed proudly beside the tree.

All proceeds will go directly towards funding the Bare Lane Christmas Tree project and ensuring its success in future years.
