Kew Village Lights
Each year, Kew Village is illuminated to create festive cheer. There is a substantial annual cost for installation, storage, maintenance, sectional replacement and dismantling. The funds for the lights are raised from fundraising events, donations from local businesses and residents and council grants.
To see how the specialist contractors install the lights, watch our short video below.
Why do we fundraise for the Kew Village Christmas Lights?
There is a substantial annual cost for installation, storage, maintenance, sectional replacement and maintenance of the lights.
A specialist contractor is used, whose workers are specifically trained to install, remove and store the lights each year. Before installation, all the lights are tested to ensure we meet legal and safety standards. The actual installation and removal is extremely labour intensive, with a team of cherry pickers working late at night and in the early hours of the morning to ensure minimal disruption.
Each year, the Kew Sparkle Committee seeks alternative quotations to ensure that the current supplier is competitive. We have been working with Light Angels for a number of years.
