Western Eagles Football Club is inviting locals to its Carols by Candlelight event taking place next month.
Juniors president Richard Gill said the event is also a way to celebrate the year as well as Christmas.
“It’s the first time the club is running an event like this and it’s a good opportunity to get everyone together and have a wonderful night out on the grass,” Mr Gill said.
The picnic-style event will be held at the venue’s pitches with a stage for live entertainment.
“We’ve got a few performers coming along. We’ve got a Polish band and a Polish boys choir and we’ve got DJs,” Mr Gill said.
“A couple of our own players and families are doing some entertaining as well.
“People can bring a picnic blanket, some chairs and enjoy it.”
The club’s canteen will be open, selling hot food items including kransky sausages, hot chips and chicken nuggets.
Mr Gill said the family-friendly club has always been heavily involved with the local community.
“We’re a multicultural club and community involvement means a lot to the club,” he said.
“We have people from all around the surrounding areas that come to the club and we’d like to make ourselves known in the community.”
The club’s Carols by Candlelight event will begin at 5.30pm on Saturday 13 December at the Polish Club Albion, 19 Carrington Drive, Albion.
“Come along for a relaxed evening and a social atmosphere, and come celebrate the spirit and joys of Christmas,” Mr Gill said.
