Our Story
Shortly after Christmas in 2023, a terrible storm hit Millport, causing flooding in the Garrison grounds which sadly destroyed many of the festive lights and decorations.
This hit us hard, as we all know how well-loved The Garrison Christmas display is in the community by all ages, and it's such a huge part of the festive spirit on the island.
This is where we need your help to save Christmas in Millport!
How You Can Help:
With Yuletide just around the corner...
We're hoping the amazing, kind community of Millport will come together and help us raise funds to replace our destroyed Christmas decorations at The Garrison.
Isle of Cumbrae Tourist Association would greatly appreciate any donation you can make towards the cause. Whether it's £1 or £50, your contribution will help bring our community together and make this Christmas season special for everyone.
Donations can be made through this campaign, and every penny will go toward bringing the magic of Christmas to Cumbrae.
Let's get our town centre looking like this again, just in time for the 2024 Christmas Lights Switch-On on Yuletide Night!
