“I’d also like to thank the members of the Teddington Together Committee who work tirelessly and without recompense to make the day happen. Teddington just wouldn’t be the same without the magnificent Christmas Lights Up event which entertains and inspires the community, but also supports our local traders.”
“Teddington has a unique charm which we are passionate about celebrating so make sure you find time to attend this year to help support your traders and the local community. Please show up and help to keep our town alive. Our goal is to create a thriving town and community which can only be done with your help.”
