Christmas lights debut for South Shore residents

Music will come from Blackpool Brass Band, performing traditional carols

The event takes place on Saturday outside 21 Waterloo Road with activities starting at 3.30pm and the lights being switched on at 4.30pm.

Businesses along the road have joined forces to create the new seasonal celebration, which aims to bring neighbours, families and visitors together at the start of the festive period.

As well as the big switch-on moment, there will be a packed programme of activities throughout the afternoon.
