The Parish Council’s Annual Civic Carol Service will be held on Monday 16th December 2024 at 8.00pm (doors open at 7.45pm) at The Puritan Chapel, Leeds Road, Bramhope, LS16 9JJ.

The service will be led by Reverend Roger Smith and Reverend Matt Broughton with musical contributions from the St Giles Choir and Band and readings by Parish Councillors.

Retiring collection will be in aid of the Parish Council’s Annual Nominated Charity, Parkinsons UK.

The service will be followed by mulled wine and mince pies served in St Giles Church Hall.

If you are travelling by car please be advised that the Britannia Hotel now charges for stays of over 20 minutes in their car park so we would advise residents to use the village car park on Old Lane or local on street parking.

Works will be commencing on 4th November to refurbish and extend the pavilion at the Recreation Ground on Old Lane.

It is anticipated that the works will take around 14 weeks and will finish early March 2025.

During this time there will be restrictions on the number of car parking spaces available so we would ask that users of the car park and ground use alternative car parking if insufficient space is available.

Alternative car parking can be found in the Village Car Park, also on Old Lane, between the tennis courts and Fox and Hounds Car park.

Thank you
