PREPARATIONS are underway for one of Thornbury’s most popular annual events – which is due to take place on Saturday.
Thornbury Christmas Lights Switch-On will return to the high street from 2pm to 7pm.
The event will include a Christmas market, live entertainment, festive food and drinks.
An organiser from Thornbury Christmas Lights Association said: “Not only will the switch-on light-up the town ready for the festive season, but we will also be raising money for Age UK.
“We can’t wait to see you there!”
The lights will officially be turned on at 6pm by the Pump.
In previous years, the event has usually taken place on Tuesdays at a slightly later start time of 7pm.
