A bar in Omagh has received thousands of requests for tickets to its Christmas lights switch on event as its owner says the local council has been ‘miserable’ for not running its traditional event in the town.
Earlier this month Fermanagh and Omagh District Council confirmed to Belfast Live that it would not be hosting the traditional lights switch on events in Omagh and Enniskillen this year.
Instead, the council has said it will be running a series of ‘seasonal Saturdays’, which it says received positive feedback from families and businesses last year.
