Christmas Extravaganza

Hi everyone!

I’m an Activity Coordinator at Vera James House on Chapel Street, Ely, and I’m really excited to share that we’re planning something rather special this Christmas!

On Saturday 5th December, we’re hoping to bring a little extra Christmas magic to the heart of Ely with a Christmas Extravaganza!

We’re joining forces with our lovely neighbours at The Lighthouse on Chapel Street to bring everyone together for a festive community event filled with entertainment, stalls, food and plenty of Christmas cheer!

We’ve already got some fantastic entertainment lined up, including the Banjo Man and the City of Ely Military Band, with more details and timings to follow!

Now, we’d love YOUR help to make this event something truly special!

Are you a local business who would like to get involved?

Are you a stallholder who would love to showcase your products?

Would you be able to donate a raffle prize?

Perhaps you have an idea or something else you’d like to contribute?

We’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re a small independent business, a local trader, a crafter or simply someone who would like to support what we’re trying to achieve, please pop me a message and I’ll be in touch.

This is about so much more than fundraising.

Yes, the event will help raise funds for Vera James House and support the charitable work associated with the Lighthouse, but our real aim is to bring the community together, support local businesses, share some Christmas spirit and create a wonderful festive occasion for the people of Ely.

We want to celebrate everything that makes our town special and give everyone the opportunity to be part of something lovely this Christmas.

Local businesses, local people, local kindness and lots of Christmas spirit!

Date: Saturday 5th December 2026

Location: The Lighthouse Auditorium, Chapel Street, Ely

Times: To be confirmed

Please share this post, spread the word and help us get the ball rolling!

Let’s see what we can achieve when our community comes together.

If you’d like to be involved, please send me a message. I’d love to hear from you!
