On Friday 5th December Olympic athlete Jo Pavey will be turning on the Christmas Lights in Honiton.
The switch on will take place after the traditional children’s carol service in St Paul’s Church on Honiton High Street. The carol starts at 5:30pm and should finish around 6:30pm.
Funding for the Honiton Christmas lights has been organised by the “Go Festive” committee, supported by the Honiton Chamber of Commerce and contributed to by many local businesses.
Jo Pavey is a four-time Olympian and won the 10,000 m gold medal at the 2014 European Championships in Zürich, ten months after giving birth to her second child. She became the oldest female European champion in history at the age of 40 years and 325 days.
Jo was born in Honiton and still lived near the area.
