Blackthorn’s Dazzling Christmas Light Tradition
Join Aaron and Jane Mcintyre for a heartwarming evening at Blackthorn’s annual Christmas lights switch-on. This cherished event, hosted by the couple for the third time, will illuminate 2 Harefield Road with over 20,000 twinkling lights, giant inflatables, and a magical snow machine. Gather your family on November 29 from 5pm for an unforgettable festive experience.
The Mcintyres, who have called Blackthorn home for three decades, are passionate about fostering community spirit. Their generosity shines through as they offer free hot drinks, Christmas songs, and a chance to capture memories in Santa’s grotto. Every child attending will receive a special gift, adding to the joy of the evening.
At the heart of this celebration is a noble cause. All proceeds from the event will support Growing Together Northampton, a local organisation dedicated to enhancing the lives of residents in east Northampton. This year, the Mcintyres aim to raise even more funds through the sale of tombola and raffle tickets, boasting prizes worth over £1,500, including vouchers for driving lessons, aesthetics, and more.
The Mcintyres’ commitment to their community is evident in their past efforts, having raised funds for Weston Favell Food Bank and Blackthorn Primary School. Their events have become a staple in the community calendar, drawing hundreds of residents eager to share in the festive spirit.
As we at James Anthony Estate Agents know, community is the heart of any neighbourhood. The Mcintyres exemplify this through their dedication and generosity. We encourage all Blackthorn residents to join in the festivities, support a worthy cause, and celebrate the season together. Let’s make this year’s switch-on the brightest yet!
