Tonight

The very first Christmas Parade of the Quakers Walk Estate is tonight at 4pm. We will start at the Taylor Wimpey showhome and walk around the estate with an ambulance from the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. Come out and join us or just come out and give us some change.

Once the parade has finished we will be meeting on the buffer zone where we will be joined by Devizes Brass Band to sing some carols.

Come and join us, meet your neighbours and let's celebrate Christmas!!!

Be prepared to hear us if you decide not to join us!!

Wiltshire Air Ambulance

On Friday we will be raising money for our neighbours at the Wiltshire Air Ambulance.

We are delighted that they are able to bring an ambulance to our Christmas Parade on Friday and support us.

Please visit their website at www.wiltshireairambulance.co.uk

Their facebook page is Wiltshire Air Ambulance Air Support

They need to raise £700,000 a year to keep the helicopter in the air doing such an important job for our county. Hopefully, we can add to that amount on Friday night!

Be prepared to hear us if you decide not to join us!

Super B&Q!

A big thank you to B&Q who have donated the group a Christmas tree. It will be put on the buffer zone on Friday morning ready for the parade later in the day. If any children (or adults) have Christmas wishes please tie them onto the tree throughout the day. We will be meeting around the tree after the parade on Friday!

Santa's Helpers are coming to the Quakers Walk Estate. We will walk around the estate starting at the Persimmon show home at 4pm. With the help of an ambulance Santa's Helpers will walk around the estate singing carols and getting into the Christmas spirit.

We hope that people from the community will come out and join the parade. There are treats for children and adults in fancy dress. Please bring out your lanterns as well. We will be singing carols and generally getting into the Christmas Spirit!!

Please come out and join us. We will have collection buckets raaising money for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance.

Once the parade has finished we will gather on the pathway from the end of Quakers Road going down to Quakers Walk (there are brown bollards at the end of Quakers Road). Here, we will gather and get into the festive spirit amongst our community. Please bring nibbles and drinks!

If there are any questions please a question on this blog and it will be answered as soon as possible.
