The Christmas season will kick off in Newcastle with the annual Christmas lights switch-on.
Crowds are expected to gather in the city centre for the event, which takes place four days before the city's Christmas Market opens. They will be welcome to assemble in the pedestrianised street.
The lights will remain illuminated throughout the Christmas season. This year's festive plans in Newcastle also include an extended outdoor market, events inside the indoor Grainger Market and a laser show by the Quayside.
