Many thanks to the people of Stratford for warmly inviting us back again this year to help with the Christmas lights switch-on.

Lit up with a bang! ... "The switch-on of Stratford Christmas lights was marked with a spectacular fireworks display fired from the town hall's roof, much to the delight of the crowd, gathered in the High Street and the Cornmarket.

After sleigh bells jingled, music played and a fireworks display wowed the crowd, Father Christmas appeared on the town hall's roof before coming down the chimney and greeting the crowd from the balchony.

The Children and parents then followed Father Christmas to his grotto in the minories. The public were also invited for seasonal refreshments in the ballroom"
