🎄Parkend made the paper! 🎄

Thank you to The Forester Newspaper for this wonderful write up which describes exactly what our event is about -
"As the Forest of Dean’s first Christmas lights switch-on of the year, Parkend’s celebration set a shining example of what the season is all about: togetherness, joy, and giving back."
