Excitement is building ahead of the event, with a stellar line-up of live entertainment — including Santa himself — booked to perform for the crowds.

The decorations will be switched on at 5pm at The Steeple in High Street on Sunday, November 18 but not before spectators are treated to a series of live performances — starting at The Steeple at 2.30pm — from The Big Band Theory, The Choir Factory and the Big Bad Wolf Theatre Company.
