Beginning with a candle-lit community parade at 4:00 pm on Friday, 28th November, residents, school children, choirs, pipers, and businesses will come together to welcome Ad Gefrin’s incredible 6m-high Yule Straw Goat as it journeys from the High Street to Ad Gefrin.
Once the procession arrives, the celebrations continue with music, hot food, and drinks — the perfect way to kick off the festive season!
This iconic creation is brought to life by North East designers Orbital FX, local craftsman Albert Fairnington (the man behind Ad Gefrin’s stunning atrium), and a team of amazing community volunteers.
With support from the Glendale Gateway Trust, local groups are also crafting their own miniature straw goats to spread Yule cheer throughout the community.
