There are times where you do think to yourself, “Do we need Christmas stuff on shelves on shelves at the end of September?”. As we enter mid November I feel we are close enough to Christmas to start spreading the festive cheer. Oxon Hall Touring Park feel exactly the same as they prepare for a weekend of Christmas fun and more importantly a charity fundraising effort for a very worthwhile cause.
Tis the season of giving at Oxon Hall Touring Park and Oxon Pool Holiday Home Park this week as they prepare for their annual switching on off their Christmas lights. The site is based in Shrewsbury which has long been known for impressive Christmas light displays and Oxon Hall have been bitten by the Christmas light bug.
The 2018 switch-on will be celebrated with a hog roast on November 17, which is free for holiday home owners on the park and people staying on the touring park. In return, the managers will ask for a donation to the Motor Neurone Disease Association, the charity chosen by parks owner Morris Leisure and sister company Morris Lubricants in 2018.
The 2017 event raised a staggering £2,865 for The Alzheimer’s Society. The success and popularity of the annual event had lead to the touring park bring fully booked for this coming weekend since January. Being booked up almost 12 months in advance is a sign of a fantastic caravan park.
“The lights will remain switched on until the New Year, so there will be plenty of opportunities for touring caravan and motorhome owners to come and see them,” said Edward Goddard, managing director of Morris Leisure.
“Every year, the park managers make a huge effort with the Christmas lights and everybody visiting or staying on the park is very supportive in helping us raise money for our chosen charity”.
“It’s a fantastic time of year to visit Shrewsbury to do your Christmas shopping in the town centre and the award-winning Market Hall.
“The park is located adjacent to Shrewsbury’s Park and Ride which quickly transport you into the town centre where there’s always a spectacular Christmas lights display over the festive season.”.
Christmas is the season giving and this fundraising event clearly demonstrates that Oxon Hall Touring Park and Oxon Pool Holiday Home Park truly believe that . At this time of year there are a lot of people, places and organisations that could all benefit from a little holiday spirit and cheer. Keep an eye out as you never know, you could make all the difference for someone this Christmas.
