A big crowd turned out on Friday evening as Santa, Mrs Claus, and their lively elves arrived in their dazzling red bus for this year’s switch-on.
With music, fun and lots of seasonal entertainment, it was a spectacular start to the festive season as people of all ages gathered to enjoy the atmosphere.
Photographer Tony Hendron took these fabulous pictures of a cracker night’s fun.
