Bringing Hale Together

The team at Hale Watch, who brought you the hugely popular HaleFest, are proud to be leading the way with Hale’s Christmas Lights 2025.

This year marks a historic first for our village — we’re organising Hale’s very first Christmas Lights Switch-On event on Saturday 29th November 2025, an afternoon full of fun, festivities, and entertainment for families and children to enjoy.

Unlike many towns, Trafford Council does not provide any funding for Hale’s Christmas lights. Every sparkle you see is made possible by the generous support of our local community. Traditionally, local businesses have shouldered much of this responsibility, but with rising costs and difficult times for many, we’re asking everyone — both residents and businesses — to play a part this year.

The total cost of delivering the lights and celebrations is £20,000. Thanks to funds raised at HaleFest, we’re already well on our way — but we need your help to reach the finish line. If every resident and business contributed just a little, together we could easily achieve our target.

Every donation, big or small, will help us make Hale sparkle brighter than ever before and create something magical that our whole community can be proud of
