Speaking of the event, Ian Holloway, Project Director at Burnham Waters said: “The annual Christmas tree lights switch-on has become a popular tradition within the Burnham Waters calendar. It has been fantastic over the last couple of years to see the numbers of new residents here continuing to grow.
“We already have a strong community building here at Burnham Waters and this is a great way to celebrate new neighbours and new friendships. It also provides those who may be considering making Burnham Waters their next home, with an opportunity to see what we are all about here - and what is on offer, beyond our beautiful new bungalows. Everyone from the local community is welcome to join us at this event and we will have our show homes open to view.”
The dedicated Burnham Waters sales team will also be on hand throughout the event to answer questions and to share information about the homes available at Burnham Waters. The show homes will be open for viewings.
