We are hugely disappointed to announce that we have had to take the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow evening’s Gillingham Christmas Spectacular.

Please accept our sincere apologies. With the weather forecasts and severe warnings in place we felt we couldn’t go ahead safely.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in organising this event and all those who planned to attend. It really would have been amazing so we are incredibly disappointed.

Stay safe everyone!
