IT is a little more than two weeks until Christmas.

And that means plenty of events to enjoy in Warrington in the coming few days.

Here are a few festivities that you will not want to miss:

Luminate Walton Gardens - running to December 24

The mesmerising mile-long trial is full of ‘wonder and awe’ and aims to surprise and delight visitors with enchanting light displays.

There is also an opportunity to get warm and cosy as you toast marshmallows over the firepits.
