The event marks a new era for the association, under the guidance of recently-elected Chair, Victoria Mason.

Speaking on behalf of the HBA, Victoria, said: “I’m delighted that we have been able to use ongoing funding from the council to bring a touch of Christmas magic to Hove once again. The Hove Business Association is a strong community and a united voice for Hove and Portslade businesses and the lights are just one – very visible – way HBA helps businesses thrive in the city.”

Carol singers, from local community group Singing for pleasure, complimentary mulled wine and mince pies, provided by Church Road’s Raise Bakery, will help set the mood and fundraisers from Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice will be on hand to collect donations to help fund their children’s services across Sussex.

The event will take place on George Street, Hove outside long-term HBA members Revival Café from 5pm until 6pm on Thursday, December 8. Everyone is welcome.
