LUTTERWORTH will light up for Christmas on the last Friday in November.
The town’s Christmas lights switch-on event, run by Lutterworth Town Council, will take place on Friday November 26 from 6pm-8pm, with the switch-on and fireworks at 7.30pm.
Children will be able to visit the funfair and see Father Christmas in his grotto, while a hog roast and mulled wine are served and Lutterworth Town Band provide the music.
Harborough District Council has agreed to waive car parking charges from 4pm onwards on the day. The council said it was unable to suspend parking charges on Saturdays in December, as it has in the previous six years, due to loss of income during the pandemic.
Council leader Coun Phil King said: “We have worked very hard to provide Christmas events in what has been a challenging year financially for the council and local businesses.
“We’ve taken an innovative approach, and worked closely with retailers, and I hope people enjoy the build-up to the festive season and come along to support our town centres.”
