A NATIVITY procession with camels, donkeys and sheep will wind its way along the streets of a tiny Kent village to raise money for local good causes.
Supported by Lympne Castle, the Lympne Nativity Procession will take place on the afternoon of Sunday December 17th.
The four-legged creatures, both large and small, will be the star attraction of the event which starts at Lympne Village Hall on Aldington Road and winds its way to Lympne Castle and Lympne Parish Church, located on Castle Close.
Canadian TV star and now much-loved member of the local community Ann Kaplan Mulholland, who took ownership of the 1,000-year-old Lympne Castle earlier this year, said:
“You can experience the Christmas Story in a play acted out in various locations in the historic centre of Lympne Village.
“People can walk with Mary, Joseph and the donkey on their journey as they travel to Bethlehem and look for somewhere to stay; see the shepherds, their sheep and an angel choir at the stable; then follow the Wise Men and their three camels as they follow a star east, stopping at Lympne Castle to speak with King Herod, before finding Mary and Joseph in a house in Bethlehem and delivering presents to the Holy Family.”
A series of nativity processions will run at 1pm, 1.30pm, 2pm and 2.30pm on the day and all proceeds will be divided between Lympne Church, Lympne Village Hall and Lympne Primary School.
Lympne Castle have kindly sponsored the donkeys, camels and costumes for the festive fundraiser, which includes a number of stalls and refreshments.
