BOV families experience Christmas Wonder at the Illuminated Trail

Bank of Valletta has hosted its long-anticipated event for its employees’ children. Following last year’s success, children aged three to 12 years were invited to attend the Magical Illuminated Trail and Christmas Village, hosted at the Verdala Palace.

The BOV children’s event is a tradition that goes back several decades and is one of the most eagerly-awaited events of the Christmas season. This year’s choice of event was even more magical because children could experience it exclusively with their parent/s. In addition, to add a bit more magic to the event, all children received a gift voucher from the bank.

The Magic Illuminated Trail featured spectacular light shows, music and food stalls. Children were welcomed by the organisers dressed up as Santa’s elves in a truly festive atmosphere. The whole event turned into an impromptu BOV family affair, as colleagues met colleagues, while children played and ran about.

This was not the only activity organised for BOV children this festive season, as earlier on, BOV children were invited to attend the Great Little Panto, a Toi Toi spectacle at Teatru Manoel. This event was made possible thanks to the bank’s longstanding support of the

Teatru Manoel and its Toi Toi programme.

Speaking about these events, Charles Azzopardi who heads the CSR Team responsible for the organisation, said: “Such events enable us to create a unique experience for our people and their families. For us, as an organisation that believes in the importance of work-life balance, watching our people turn up in their hundreds with their little ones and enjoy the magical atmosphere, makes all the hard work worth it for everyone involved.”
