Christmas carols were sung by the Swinford Church choir which was thoroughly enjoyed by the large crowd that had gathered, who had gathered to watch the switching on of the lights.

The recently formed Swinford Men’s Shed constructed the new Christmas crib located on main street. With the help of local groups and materials were supplied by Swinford Tidy Towns. This is the first time that the new crib has been lit up.
