Welcome to Wonderland: A Community Celebration
A Welcome to Wonderland event on Saturday, 23rd November brought Prescot to life, showcasing the rich spirit of the town in a day filled with creativity, collaboration, and festive cheer, as local businesses hosted Wonderland-themed activities and performances that charmed visitors and highlighted the vibrant community spirit of Prescot. Louise Gillespie, owner of Jessie & Co and Chair of Prescot Business Club, emphasises the spirit of the season:
“Prescot is more than just a town—it’s a vibrant, collaborative community. This year, by embracing an enchanting Alice in Wonderland theme for Christmas, we’re inviting visitors to step into a world of whimsy while exploring our town centre. This celebration isn’t just about festive fun; it’s an opportunity for our cherished independent businesses to shine and for everyone to experience the warmth and uniqueness that Prescot has to offer.”
