Several thousand people braved the rain and bitter cold on Friday 21 November to see the Christmas lights switched on in Leys Square.
As the pictures show, there was fun for all the family, and attractions included Santa and his huskies, X Factor contestant Annastasia Baker, cast members from the SPADS pantomime, Aladdin, and local band, Pink Champagne. Hertbeat FM provided live coverage of the switch-on and the build up to it. Fairground rides in Leys Avenue added to the party atmosphere.
