"It takes four weekends - and one weekend to take down. Plus there is some other work that is done during the week.

She said the team all work “extremely hard in all weathers and not just in the run up to Christmas, a lot of planning and preparation is carried out, throughout the year.

“Without this dedication and also the support given from local business and organisations, the lights in Ely would not be possible”.
