The Elves will have collection buckets for donations towards Potton’s Christmas Lights.  Father Christmas has requested that “vehicles should pass my Elves at no more than 15mph as they are easily scared and one of my Elves was very nearly run over at last year’s event!”

Look out for further detailed information in the October 2021 newsletter, on social media and town council notice boards.

We very much look forward to your support.
