HOW IT ALL STARTED
What started as a community Christmas event has become a very special part of Christmas in Maesgeirchen.
The first Jingle Bell Bash brought Christmas fun to the community, with Santa even making his way around Bangor before arriving at the event.
After a year away, Jingle Bell Bash came back bigger and better, filling Eglwys y Groes with Santa, stalls, games, prizes and Christmas fun.
Together, the community helped JBB 2025 raise more than £5,000 for Maes-G ShowZone®.
We're bringing Jingle Bell Bash back for another magical Christmas day together on Saturday 5 December.
MEET THE TEAM
Jingle Bell Bash simply wouldn’t happen without the hard work, time and determination of our fundraising team.
Mel, Jenna and Amanda are ShowZone mums, volunteers and three incredibly community-minded people who give their time throughout the year to help raise the funds that keep Maes-G ShowZone® going. From organising, making and fundraising to selling, sourcing and the countless jobs nobody ever sees, they just get stuck in and make things happen.
Their support doesn’t stop with fundraising either. All three volunteer with ShowZone at our annual Pontio show and have spent years helping with events and activities across the wider community.
JBB is their biggest event of the year, and they’re always happy to have more hands on deck. If you’d like to help at Jingle Bell Bash, they’d love to hear from you.
