A HEREFORDSHIRE town will turn on its annual Christmas lights next month to kick off the festive season.
Events to mark Ledbury's town Christmas lights switch-on will take place on Sunday, November 27, outside the Market House in the town centre.
Currently 26 traders have signed up to participate in the event, which will be food vendors, craft stalls, and local distilleries.
There will also be a range of other entertainment taking place, which Ledbury Town Council have decided will be Walkabout performers.

This will be two acts performing half an hour street shows.
Walkabout performers range from magicians and mind readers through to stilt-walking characters and caricaturists.
But to accommodate larger than usual market traders, alongside the entertainment, the members of the council’s events party asked the town council to grant a road closure from Top Cross to Bye Street between 10am and 6pm.
The council has requested this from Herefordshire Council to ensure the safety of those attending the event.
There will also be a Christmas shopping event on Saturday, December 3.
