Yule be in for a treat when the festive favourite, Christmas Carols and Markets, jingles its way back to Aspley Hornets.
The free event will be held on Saturday, 6 December, from 5pm to 7pm, at Aspley Hornets Football Club in Carseldine, bringing the community together for an evening of carols, markets, and Christmas magic.
Aspley Hornets Marketing Coordinator Maddy Young said Christmas carols time at the Hornets was one of the best days of the year.
“We are very grateful to work with Aspley Rotary to provide a free event for the community each December,” Maddy said.
“Bringing the Christmas spirit to Carseldine and surrounds is such a joy! As always, there will be rides, food trucks and market stalls, plus the amazing New Black Band singing Christmas carols into the night.
“Plus, a very special visit from Santa himself! We can’t wait to see everyone there!”
The event is a partnership between Aspley Hornets and Aspley Rotary, first launched in 2019.
A Night of Carols, Markets and Community Cheer
Visitors can look forward to a fun-filled evening of family-friendly entertainment, featuring carnival rides, a jumping castle, face painting, and a market. The market will showcase handmade goods and artisan gifts, including Christmas ornaments, handcrafted earrings, crochet items, and festive treats and toys for dogs.
Food enthusiasts can enjoy a wide selection of mouthwatering dishes served by local hot food trucks, with a dedicated ice cream truck offering sweet treats to top off the experience.
Adding to the festive spirit, the always-popular New Black Band returns for their fifth appearance, performing classic Christmas carols into the night.
Tim from New Black Band said the band was looking forward to adding new carols to their set list this year, alongside classics like Jingle Bells, Hark the Herald Angels, and Santa Clause is Coming to Town.
“It’s lovely to know we are contributing to wonderful memories for kids and their families,” Tim said. “Their smiles make it all worthwhile.”
Meagan from Aspley Rotary said they were thrilled to collaborate again with Aspley Hornets for the community carols event.
“Join us for an enjoyable afternoon packed with activities for all ages,” Meagan said.
“Delight in carol singing with the amazing The New Black Band, enjoy the children’s rides and mini-markets, look out for a visit from Santa, and relax and enjoy the food, the fun and the atmosphere with your friends and family.
“We can’t wait to see you there!”
