THE Christmas lights were switched on at Culcheth after Saturday's market festivities.

Mayor of Warrington Cllr Karen Mundry was on hand with Father Christmas for the switch-on along with chair of Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council Margaret Webber.

The centre of the village was filled with stalls between 11am and 5pm in the event organised by Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council.

Visitors could browse stalls and sample Christmas fairs in the parish and methodist halls.

While children's rides were available for the little ones.
