Caerphilly town’s big Christmas lights switch-on will take place tomorrow, November 20, with the help of Father Christmas and characters from Disney’s Frozen.
Caerphilly Town Council have organised a festive event for children to enjoy the switch on and get in the Christmas spirit.
Choirs from Twyn School, Plas-y-felin School, Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Caerffili and Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Y Castell, together with the Caerphilly Community Chorus will open the festivities at 6pm at the Twyn Community Centre.
Father Christmas will arrive at around 6.45pm after travelling through town on his sleigh and will give out sweets to the children.
He will be joined by Elsa, Anna and Olaf from Frozen to switch-on the lights at 7pm.
Insurance company consructaquote.com donated £1,000 towards the Christmas lights, which cost £8,000, after funding for decorations was cut by Caerphilly County Borough Council.
Their mascot Billie the Beaver will be giving out selection boxes to children on the night.
CEO Lyndon Wood said: “Growing up in the area, Christmas was always a huge celebration and the lights being switched on in the town was always something I looked forward to.
“When I heard that the Christmas lights might be in jeopardy this year, I wanted to help out and keep the Caerphilly Christmas lights on.
“I’m looking forward to the switch-on and I am hoping for a great turn-out to welcome Christmas 2015 to Caerphilly.”
