It’s the big Christmas lights switch-on in Alnwick on Friday night.

Entertainment on November 17 starts in the Market Place at 6pm, with the switch-on at 7pm.

The town’s Christmas lights team has been busy putting up the festive decorations over the past few weekends, fortified with refreshments provided by The Plough Hotel.
