Some shops and food establishments will be offering festive cheer & refreshments, extending their hours and remaining open after the lights switch on.
It takes a lot of volunteer time, effort and organisation to get the lights up, arrange the activities and manage the Christmas Lights switch on.
Even with all this voluntary effort, it costs £1000’s of pounds to have this Christmas Lights Switch On, and events like this are only possible with your generous support.
