BONFIRE Night is over so attention can now turn to Christmas.

And the start of the festive period in Warrington begins in earnest on Friday with the Christmas lights switch-on.

Here is our guide to what to expect on the night.

WHEN IS THE LIGHT SWITCH-ON?

It takes place on Friday in the Old Market Place at Golden Square.

The fun starts from 4.45pm with the on stage entertainment due to begin at 6pm

WHAT IS THE ENTERTAINMENT ?

The theme for the evening will be The Greatest Showman complete with a fire performance, aerial acts and an acrobatic duo before Santa flicks the switch at the end of the celebration.

WHAT ELSE CAN WE EXPECT IN THE RUN UP TO CHRISTMAS?

Torvill and Dean wannabees will be able to glide their way across the ice with an ice rink in place from November 22  until January 5, all under the cover of the Old Market Square.

There will be various different skating sessions available to suit everyone; from parent and toddler time slots, to music-free skating for those who appreciate a quieter visit as part of the centre’s commitment to being fully inclusive to everyone.

Shoppers will also be able to explore various Christmas huts, which will be alongside the rink where mulled wine and festive snacks will be on offer.
