RTW Together BID and Tunbridge Wells Borough Council are working together to bring a new Christmas tree display to Calverley Precinct this festive season.
Funded by RTW Together BID, the Christmas tree will create a focal point in the heart of the town centre, helping to enhance the experience for residents, visitors and local businesses during the festive period.
As part of preparations for the installation, this has provided an opportune time for the Millennium Clock to be carefully moved and securely stored while a service and inspections are undertaken.
Alex Green, Chief Executive of RTW Together BID, said:
“We are delighted to be bringing a stunning, real, 21ft Norway Spruce Christmas tree to Calverley Precinct this year. The town centre welcomes thousands of residents and visitors during the festive season, and we hope this new addition will create an attractive and welcoming focal point for everyone to enjoy.
We recognise that the Millennium Clock is a familiar landmark for many people in Tunbridge Wells. It will be carefully moved and securely stored while inspections are carried out.”
Cllr Justine Rutland, Deputy Leader of Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and Cabinet Member for Economic Development, said:
“The Millennium Clock has been part of the town centre for many years. Secure storage will allow the structure and clock mechanism to be inspected more easily while creating space for a beautiful Christmas tree display that residents and visitors can enjoy throughout the festive season.”
