Care Village Liggie Ride: Where to be
The annual Care Village Liggie Ride will be bringing Christmas lights to the streets of Middelburg this Thursday.
Here’s what you need to know:
The ride starts and finishes at B² Cycleworks, which is situated at Hoërskool Middelburg.
The ride starts at 19:00 sharp.
Children aged four and under will be allowed to join in with the festivities in a 1km joyride around the school premises, starting from 18:15.
