The countdown to the festive season will begin on Friday, November 30, with the switching on of Swadlincote’s Christmas lights.

The High Street and the Delph will become a hive of activity during three days of fun and frivolity.

Every year thousands flock to soak up the atmosphere, enjoy fairground rides and experience the live entertainment.

Special festive guests will be visiting the town throughout the day, whilst school children can be heard singing seasonal songs.

A spectacular fireworks display will light up the night sky before the button is pushed to illuminate the town.

Be sure to put the date in your diary – it is an occasion for all of the family to enjoy.
