Bethlehem Village sells out in 48 hours
A community Christmas event set in the village of Waringstown has sold out, well in advance of its launch on 13 December.
Bethlehem Village will be a family friendly interactive journey through the story of the birth of Jesus, brought to life by actors, music, crafts and live animals. All 1,100 free online tickets were snapped up in just 48 hours.
The event is the result of a partnership between Donaghcloney Parish and Waringstown Presbyterian Church, with the invaluable support of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Council.
The tour will begin at Holy Trinity church and local charity Love for Life have offered their facilities to host another part of the event.
Wider community groups and the primary school will also be involved, making this a true community event for the village.
Final rehearsals and set–up are well underway ahead of a special launch service in Holy Trinity Church, Waringstown, at 7.00pm on Thursday 13 December.
The service will be attended by Bishop Harold Miller and the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, the Revd Dr Charles McMullen.
