The weather didn’t stop huge crowds from flocking to Cascades on Saturday evening (November 22) after the annual Christmas light switch on was moved indoors.
Taking place between 4.30pm and 6pm, the Christmas lights switch on party was hosted by Mark Collins, and featured performances from The Charlalas and panto stars.
On top of the festive lights lining the high street, the Christmas market will also be running until December 30, with stalls showcasing tree decorations, stocking fillers and treats.
