✨ Help Keep Ryde Shining Bright! ✨

The Merry and Bright Festival of Light 2025 is back on Friday 5th December, 5–8pm, lighting up Ryde with a spectacular lantern parade, glowing sculpture installations in Vernon Square Gardens, the dazzling Neon Garden at St Thomas’s Rest, craft activities, Santa’s Grotto, live performances, late-night shopping, and so much more!

This much-loved free community event is funded by Arts Council England and supported by Ryde Town Council — but with funding frozen for 10 years and our local grant reduced, we need your help to keep the magic alive.

💛 Every donation, big or small, helps us bring light, creativity, and joy to Ryde this winter.
Please donate today and help us make Merry and Bright 2025 truly magical! ✨
