The festive season gets under way in Montpellier

Kellands Cheltenham joins in the Christmas spirit.

The most magical time of the year is almost here and last Thursday 16 November, the Cheltenham community came together to light up the streets, open its doors and kick off the festive season.

Thousands of twinkling lights illuminated the streets, choirs filled the air with the sounds of Christmas, and mulled wine was served.

It was also the start of the Christmas Elf Trail (created by Cheltenham BID). Trail-goers follow a map in search of elves in shop windows around Cheltenham Town Centre.

Kellands Cheltenham, based in Montpellier, stayed open to welcome roaming trail-goers as they searched for the cheeky elves. We also received a surprise visit from two beautiful Angels – who spotted the Kellands angel in the window.

All in all, it was a fun and festive evening.
