People who may be facing the festive season alone are being encouraged to join together for a special Christmas lunch on December 25.

Over the last 15 years, Looe’s Churches Together team has put on a splendid Christmas Day meal and entertainment for people of all ages.

Transport from Looe and the surrounding areas can be arranged and the event is free thanks to generous donations.

‘The celebrations start at 12 noon with a welcoming drink and, in addition to a splendid lunch, music and a quiz are also on the agenda,’ said a spokesperson.

‘The afternoon will conclude at around 4pm.  If you would like to come along please contact Kathryn on 01503 264937.’
