Kent independent family brewer and pub company Shepherd Neame is among the sponsors of the new Christmas Lights in Rochester.
After securing donations from a number of businesses and organisations in the area, the Rochester Christmas Lights Legacy Fund (RCLLF) has not only been able to provide new lights for the High Street – the first in over 20 years – but plans to upgrade all lighting over the next few years.
The Faversham-based brewer has two pubs in the city centre – The Royal Crown and the Two Brewers. Its contribution has been used to fund one of three newly illuminated trees along the High Street. A wooden plaque thanking Shepherd Neame for its support has been placed on the tree.
Keith Donegan, head of sponsorships for RCLLF, said: “We would like to thank Shepherd Neame and all our incredible sponsors for making this project a reality and helping us brighten up Rochester for the festive season and beyond!”
