The heart of Waterlooville will be lit up to mark another year of festivities on Saturday, November 23.

An afternoon of fun activities will lead up to the switch-on, which will begin with live, on-stage music and a pop-up fair from midday.

At 4.45pm a marching band and a lantern procession will make their way through the town centre from the Natwest bank, in London Road, before a Christmas singalong at 5pm.

The town’s lights will be switched on at 5.15pm.

Residents can bring their own lanterns or get a template for one from Waterlooville Library.
