Bridlington Lions

Bridlington Lions are in the process of hopefully setting a World Record with the help from local Bridlington teams. To gain a new world record we need to have plenty of practice. Very soon we will post the practice times, dates and locations here.

Find out what we have done this year

The time has come once again with the passing of another year to wish all our friends in Bridlington and beyond a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

We hope that you will join us in the coming year to assist in helping others and doing a good turn for the town.

To see what we have been up to in the last year have a look at the newspaper that we deliver each year which is also available online here.

Bridlington Lions Christmas Concert

Last year we had ice and snow, this year it was driving wind and rain – but inside the Spa Royal Hall hundreds of people had a fantastic time singing and listening to Christmas Carols.

Other Lions Clubs from all over Yorkshire hired coaches to bring guests to help fill the Spa to full capacity.

Compere for the evening was Lion John Hall who kept the evening running smoothly.

People were treated to music performed by the Driffield Silver Band, the Classic Pop Singers and the brilliant Burlington Junior School Choir whose performance was noted as having the biggest cheers of the evening.

We would like to thank residents of Bridlington and visitors from further afield who made the evening as successful as it was.

Special photoshoots will follow both of these presentations.  There will be other prize draws including the Promenades Bright House Living Room competition by the Mayor of Bridlington.
