The countdown is finally over, and the Christmas lights will be switched on in Northampton this weekend.
Taking place on Saturday (November 25) from 11am until 6pm, the light switch on event will see a huge array of activities and entertainment at Becket’s Park, due to the ongoing work in the town centre.
From a free ice rink, to fairground rides, to local choirs and pantomime stars, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Below is a round up of everything that is happening as part of the Northampton Christmas lights switch on event, as well as a handy timetable of when everything is happening.
