In Sea Mills, there are other signs that Christmas is coming. St Edyth’s Church tower is lit with an advent star, carols have been sung at the Cafe on the Square’s regular festive celebration and the Sea Mills Museum‘s Christmas lights are lit.

There is news too of Santa. He will again be accompanying the Avonmouth Project Group, touring the area and handing out presents to children in Avomouth, Shirehampton, Lawrence Weston, Sea Mills and Coombe Dingle in the run-up to Christmas.
We’ve got the museum ready for #Christmas and just in time for #Carols on the Square this evening. Maybe see some of you at 6pm for carols and mulled wine ❤️ (Sat 3 Dec 2022) pic.twitter.com/1ERURQRsQ6
