Make Catrine Sparkle is a volunteer-led annual event for the village of Catrine organised by Catrine Community Council. On the 1st Sunday in December, our village comes alive with lantern-lit streets and a magical community parade, coming together for the Christmas light switch-on by our local community champions. But it doesn't end there—our Christmas market and entertainment keep the festive spirit alive all night.

We're passionate about nurturing our community's voice. The community’s feedback fuels our commitment to grow and improve this cherished tradition. With your support, we aim to expand the event, welcoming more volunteers and enhancing the experience for everyone.

But we need your help to make it even brighter! Hosting Make Catrine Sparkle costs upwards of £10,000. Your contribution ensures free entry for all while enabling us to elevate the event. From maintaining and enhancing our Christmas lights to providing free lantern workshops, every donation counts toward creating lasting memories for our community.

By donating you’re helping us uphold the legacy of Make Catrine Sparkle—an annual celebration that unites us all in a unique, joyous experience. Your donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in preserving this loved tradition. Thank you for helping Catrine Community Council continue to Make Catrine Sparkle!
