We have plenty upcoming for our Light up the Town (Aberystwyth) event this year, which will be held on the 1st of December 2018.

In the run up we have:

1. Elf Treasure Hunt – scour the shop windows in Aberystwyth and help us find our missing 20 elves! You can collect post cards with elf names from the Tourist Information Centre at Ceredigion Museum.
