Residents, friends and family come together (Image: Melinda King) Adding to the atmosphere, attendees were treated to mulled wine, and a ‘wobbly’ hot chocolate, prepared by Ange Lal and Craig Little of the Inn and Still pub on Coinagehall Street, The event, which is now in its third year, is organised annually by Gwealdues resident Melinda King and has become a much-anticipated tradition in the area. Each year, the event grows, attracting more and more people.
Beverages were provided by Craig Little and Ange Lal (Image: Melinda King) Melinda told the Packet why she decided to organise this special event every year in December. She said: “It’s just nice for the elderly residents who can’t get out to be able to see and hear the band and to catch up with neighbours.” She also shared her thanks to everyone who helped support the event.
She said: “Thank you so much to Helston Town Band for their amazing playing (as always) at ‘Carols on the Green’ this evening. Helston Town Band help to bring the festive spirit to Gwealdues (Image: Melinda King) “Big thanks also to Ange Lal and Craig Little for the mulled wine and wobbly hot chocolates. “This is the third year, and each time it's bigger and better.
Thank you to everyone who braved the cold – we even had an ambulance crew come to listen and to have a sneaky hot chocolate (not wobbly!). “See you all again next year!”.
