Lighting up Gosforth High Street!

On Friday 29^th November, Sanderson Young Estate Agents lit up Gosforth High Street with 80 beautiful Christmas trees!

Following a very successful inaugural #lightupGosforth event on Friday night, with over 450 people in attendance, they would like to thank all of the traders who contributed and also the sponsors, Reeves Independent, L.G.A. Foundation, Sanderson Young and Sweeney Miller Law for their generous donations which enabled our community project to get off the ground.

They would also like to say a huge thanks also to local electricians, Ridley Brothers of Gosforth, and Watsons Timber who made it possible to #lightupgosforth.

It was great to see their local community coming together to watch the ‘switch on’ by the children of St Oswald’s Hospice and enjoy the carol singing from Newcastle School for Boys. Festive treats were provided by Baby Grey, Babucho, due to open their new restaurant on the High Street in January, and Rod Davies of Willi’s Café who enjoyed the lights so much that he has included them on his own premises on Clayton Road!

Lighting up Gosforth High Street at this festive time is a small step to encourage more people to shop local and support the amenities on their doorstep. The atmosphere on Friday night showed how well received this initiative has been and how much opportunity there is for the High Street economy.

The first of many initiatives to transform Gosforth High Street, we’re hoping to make this an annual Christmas event and aiming for bigger and better in 2025!
