Maidstone United and its charity arm, Stones in the Community, were proud to support this year’s Christmas lights switch-on in the town centre.

Organised by One Maidstone Business Improvement District, in partnership with KMfm, the event drew thousands of people to the High Street and Jubilee Square.

Club mascot Iggy the Dinosaur was a crowd favourite once again, posing for countless selfies along Week Street, Fremlin Walk, and Royal Star Arcade.

First-team players Riley Court, Georgia Culpitt, Taylor Foran, Ellie Hinkley, Lenny Holden, Chi Madamombe, and Tilly Rowsell joined academy and Raiders players on stage to celebrate the occasion.

The club will return to town on Friday 6 February, for the Light Up Festival – a vibrant community parade from County Hall to the Town Hall.
