Rhyl Town Council Christmas window dressing competition2020RHYL shoppers will have an extra spring in their step in the run-up to Christmas.

The balmy beaches of Australia will give way to the streets of the Denbighshire town as a pair of mischievous bouncing Christmas elves hop on to the High Street.

Aussies Horace and Boris will be keeping an eye on shoppers to see who has been naughty and nice, discovering who is guaranteed a place on Santa’s list this year.

The pair will be overseeing High Street fun on Saturday December 11 for the latest day of free activities staged by Rhyl Town Council. Santa’s unusual helpers can jump one metre off the ground so no one will escape their once-over.

Rhyl mayor Cllr Diane King said: “Christmas is a time of fun and games with a little sprinkling of silly. Horace and Boris bring all of that with them.

“The elves are off their shelf and on the move and guaranteed to raise a smile as they bounce and bop along.

“I’ll be joining them in town, so get ready - we’ll be wanting to hear who has been extra special this year so we can make sure Santa has got everyone on his list.”

Joining the duo will be the band Ghostbuskers from Tape Community Music & Film, who will bring their special style of musical revelry to the occasion. There will also be free face painting.

Bouncing into Christmas will be held on Saturday December 11 from 11am.

A TOWN will turn back the clock to mark its place in musical history.

As The Beatles iconic Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album turns 50, Rhyl’s High Street is to be transformed into Beatles Street.
On Saturday July 14 1962, The Beatles played in Wales for the first time, heralding the start of Beatlemania. Their first Welsh gig - at Rhyl’s Regent Dansette Ballroom, now home to Burton and Dorothy Perkins - lasted an hour with tourists and locals entertained for just five shillings.
A blue plaque marks the building where The Beatles performed and now local
tribute band, The Cavernites, will take to the stage in the town’s high street on
Saturday July 15 to remember the historical day.
