Christchurch Living Advent Calendar is a new, free event organised for the town, which will run in December 2021. The event, organised by Christchurch Rotary Club, is supported by Christchurch Town Council and BCP Council.
The idea for a Living Advent Calendar originated in Stockholm, with the first being held in 2005. Today, there are Living Advent Calendars in many towns in Sweden and other countries with the first in UK being held in Henley on Thames in 2011.
The model is ideal for Christchurch as it will showcase the local talent and great work undertaken by charities and businesses locally, whilst raising significant sums for those charities.
