One Merseyside town's Christmas markets will be hoping to compete with their noisy neighbours.
Newton-le-Willows' High Street festive markets are set to make a return on December 4, following an absence due to the pandemic. The markets, held annually, offer the chance for people to sample some of the local businesses in a festive setting.
Organised by local committee the High Street Hive, the day will also see the lights switch-on, with events running from midday, and food served until 7pm.
