WOODLEY’S Christmas celebrations get underway this weekend as the town’s Christmas lights get switched-on.
Residents can gather around the Centre Stage area from 4.30pm to enjoy an hour of carol singing and festive refreshments as the town gets lit up for the festive season.
It acts as a precursor to the annual Christmas Extravaganza, which will return to the town on Sunday, December 4, between 10am and 3pm.
The event will feature entertainment from a number of groups including Steppin Out Stars of Tomorrow theatre school, ukulele group No Strings Attached, and a ballroom display from Vibez.
Street entertainment will come from some mischievous grannies, and the Circus Scene entertainers.
And Father Christmas will be in sleigh near Nat West Bank from 11.30am to 2.30pm, ready for children to give him their present requests.
Entry to both events is free.
