Formby
Village Nativity 2013!
Photograph by Patrick Trollope.
THIS
year's Formby nativity play took place on 14 December 2013 and
it was the 8th year that Formby Churches Together have conducted
the event in the open air. Despite the risk that the weather
would rain and high winds would course havoc to the proceedings,
interestingly the weather stayed cram though out the event.
Oddly the weather changing in a blink of an eye just after it
had finished, with strong gusts of wind blowing diversion signs
and other objects over. The Nativity is now a great annual event
for the local community, pulling in local schools and businesses
along with the churches, to form a cast of 50+ and that is not
mentioning the live animals! All the cast as well as the local
primary school children, preformed the traditional nativity
story that everyone is familiar with, in full costume.
Throughout the performance local people acted out scenes on a
stage that had been erected in the middle of the road with a
pre-recorded soundtrack playing out the notation. The play as
normal was an original script, keeping it fresh and bringing the
really nice feeling of the spirit of Christmas to the village
centre and the story of the birth of Jesus alive. In total over
100 people had to help to deliver this event and we have to say
that they did a remarkably good job. This has become an
established tradition and we hope people of Formby continue to
support the organisers who each year put so much time and effort
into it. If you did not attended, please click on
