Salisbury lights up for Christmas

30 October 2013

This year’s countdown to Christmas in Salisbury will officially begin on Thursday 21 November 2013 at 6pm in the Market Place with Salisbury City Council’s annual Christmas Lights Switch On event.

This popular free event for all ages, promises to be a great way to start the festive season in Salisbury. Local bands and performers will get the evening’s entertainment off to a lively start on the main stage from 6pm, providing a great evening of entertainment for all the family.

This year there will be performances from street dance group Elevate, followed by talented all girl band ‘The Vanillas.’ Fans of Sandy Ince from Sticky Toffee Jazz are in for a treat as Sandy will perform some classic festive numbers. There will be a blessing, followed by a short speech by the Mayor of Salisbury, Councillor Mrs Penny Brown. The countdown will begin at approximately 7pm followed by an impressive firework display.

Live music will continue in the Market Place with Innervision, a modern hi tech 5 piece band covering a wide selection of chart music from the 1960’s through to the present day, and guaranteed to create a great party atmosphere.

Business Manager Claire Burden said, “We look forward to welcoming everyone to the Christmas Lights Switch On event in the Market Place to get Salisbury’s festive season and the first of the late night shopping evenings off to a lively start!”

Community reporters raring to go

30 October 2013

30 media savvy individuals turned up to Salsibury City Hall last week to find out about how social media can help them promote all that is great about Salisbury and South Wiltshire. And, they were brim full of enthusiasm and ready to get theproject rocking.

Community reporters are everyday folk like you and me who are passionate about the place where they live. They file reports using Our Community Matters, hunt out news and stories and bring us the latest from around the area. Mary Culen was at the launch:

“Community reporting is a great way to promote what we are doing, it’s easy, simple and gets our news out to the thousands of visitors to this great site. Steve Milton our local Community Area Mananger supports us with training, equipment and grants and the rest is down to us. I would recommend local groups to give it a go. Don’t be put off by all the tech language, its is really easy. “

Community reporting is supported by Wiltshire Council, the NHS, the Police and other partners and it aims to make the Our Community Matters websites the first point of call for all things community. If you missed the session at the City Hall you can catch up with the event here.

Why not dive into the new world of social media to help raise the profile of what you do – get involved!
