Preparations for Christmas are underway in Saundersfoot, with volunteers and local businesses joining forces to install 75 traditional Christmas trees and lights across the village.

The two-day installation began on Thursday, November 12, with the Puffin Cottage Holidays truck in action alongside volunteers from Love Saundersfoot, Byron from The Royal Oak Saundersfoot, GForce Telecoms and Saundersfoot Rotary.

The trees will decorate shops, bars and restaurant fronts throughout the seaside village, creating a festive welcome ahead of the ‘Coastal Christmas Switch-On’ which takes place on Saturday, November 21.

Puffin Cottage Holidays is funding all 75 trees for the second consecutive year, continuing its support for the village and the community effort behind its Christmas celebrations.

Andy Broomhall, partner at Puffin Cottage Holidays and a director of Love Saundersfoot, said: “We’re proud to fund the village’s 75 Christmas trees for the second year running. Saundersfoot is a special place, and it’s wonderful to see local businesses and volunteers coming together to help it sparkle at Christmas.

“A huge thank you to everyone giving their time, equipment and energy to get the traditional trees and lights up. It’s a fantastic community effort, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone enjoy them.”

Installation continues on Friday, November 13, as preparations build towards the village’s Coastal Christmas celebrations.
