Several towns across Nottinghamshire have announced their Christmas light switch-on dates and times. Eastwood, Beeston, Stapleford, Mansfield and Arnold have also announced a series of changes to traffic and travel as a result of the all-day events.
There will be Christmas markets, a chance to meet Santa and pick up a present or two for loved ones from local craft makers. There will also be a chance to have a cheeky mulled wine or two to keep warm as you wait for the official light switch on with some towns opting for firework displays.
There is no official Nottingham city centre Christmas lights switch-on ceremony this year ceremony this year. The lights are due to be turned on November 15, the opening day of Winter Wonderland. However, a number of events are taking place across the county.
