It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas as the countdown for a popular island event commences.
Christmas Sparkle is returning to Easton Gardens, Portland on Friday, December 6 from 4pm-7pm.
The event will kick off with the official opening by the Mayor of Portland, Cllr Sheila Miles, before Dr Jazz takes to the stage with a playlist of Christmas hits.
There will be plenty of exciting things for the whole family to get involved with including a fairground, donkey rides, Santa in his Mini Moke, a Christmas fayre and in true Dorset spirit, there will also be Morris Dancing and majorette performances.
The Rotary Club will also have a Santa Sleigh outside of All Saints Church.
Inside Easton Methodist Hall, visitors can browse even more craft stalls and catch a performance by the Rock Choir at 6.30pm.
