PAINSWICK has announced that its annual Goodwill Evening will take place this November in an event that will focus on the true 'goodwill' spirit of Christmas.

The evening will incorporate traditional children's games, craft stalls, hot food and a few special surprises.

As well as this, there will be a lantern parade performed by children from within the community starting at Saint Mary's Church from 6pm and finishing at the traditional Father Christmas’s Grotto in the Painswick Centre.

This year, a few charities will be present so visitors will be encouraged to bring donations with them, such as toys and food, for those in need - in keeping with this year's theme 'Extending Goodwill to All'.

Prospective visitors can look forward to the evening on Friday, November 30 between 5pm and 8pm and all are welcome.

For more information about the event please contact Anne-Marie Randall at annemarierandall@me.com
