Our History
Beaconsfield Festival of Lights was started in the late 1980s by Beaconsfield Chamber of Commerce as a late night shopping evening. Over the years the event grew and raised significant amounts for charity. In recent years the organisation of the event has been taken over by the local Rotary club.
Funding for the event
Beaconsfield Festival of Lights needs to raise all of the money required to run the event. It has small donations from Beaconsfield Town Council and local charities. Its continued existence is only possible through the hard work of volunteers and the generosity of community-
We are a charity
