💡 Top Tip for Your Lights Drive

Embarking on a tour of these festive locations is a wonderful way to embrace the holiday spirit and create lasting memories. Remember these tips to make your trip smooth:

• Be Considerate: Adhere to visiting hours (typically 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm) and maintain respectful behaviour.
• Park Smart: Avoid parking over driveways or on the front lawns of neighbouring properties. Park a little further away and walk if the street is busy.
• Tune In: Many synchronised light displays broadcast their music over a low-power FM frequency, so check the signs and tune your Big Box Car radio!
